millions of mike viola fans agree: Blue Thumb was best. i don't know why
that is, i think there's something unfussy about the production, as if the
songs were recorded before the band had a chance to overthink them. other
mike fans and i have often opined that the best mike album would be one
recorded live of just mike and his guitar.
also, here's a quick plug from me: everyone should pick up john
vanderslice's "cellar door." track 7 & especially track 9 are terrific.
