Title: Whatever Happened to Mickey?
Product review: Boy, is this a disappointing CD! Mickey Newbury in the 1970's was one of the most moving and effective folk balladeers of his time. He wrote "Heaven Help the Child" "Sunshine" and did a tremendous version of "An American Trilogy." None of those 70's CDs are available, so I was thrilled when I saw "Nights When I Am Sane" released. Boy, what a disappointment! It's a live recording with Mickey and a couple of guitars. Even the brilliant 'Heaven Help the Child" sounds ineffective. What a shame! Maybe Elektra records should release Mickey's older CDs and people who haven't heard him could hear him at his best. Don't waste your money on this one!
