Album Notes

Michael Martin and Friends is genuine, good old, foot stompin', honky tonkin', roots rockin' country music. If when you think "Country" you think Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and David Allan Coe then MM & Friends is your kind of country! If when you think roots rock and roll you think Grateful Dead, String Cheese, and Creedence then MM & Friends is your kind of rock and roll!
After four years of beating down the doors in the Honky Tonks and beer joints MM & Friends has finally put out it's first studio album 'Going For Broke'. 'Going For Broke' is just what its says "going for broke". With all the money they could scrape out of the tip jars MM & F's put it all on the line to produce it's first CD. 'Going For Broke' is a literal statement as much as an album name. With a little bit of cash, a whole lot of faith, and a gamblers zest for life MM & F's is still beating down the doors of every Honky Tonk in the good old USofA. Playing live is what they love. Playing for the love is what keeps them on the road. And, faith keeps them "going for broke". Help put a little gas money in the old 1990 Ford Econoline they call a tour bus and feel the love and passion in your soul from the debut CD 'Going For Broke'!

Mike Martin Does Country Right...
author: The Star Press
Ben Kreider: Mike Martin does country right By BEN KREIDER Going For Broke Mike Martin & Friends (FMMusic) If you like your country music as performed by folks who put on their twang every morning -- much like their artfully faded and tattered jeans or sequin-covered cowboy hats -- Mike Martin is not the guy for you. But if you hear names like Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson and smile, then Martin & Friends' Going For Broke just might be the disc you've been seeking. ADVERTISEMENT COMPARE FREE MORTGAGE QUOTES Secure a low refinance rate today. Free with no obligation! www.comparefreequotes.com Martin's voice is raw and occasionally imprecise, but he understands that and knows how to make it work, whether it's on the near indecipherable first verse of John Wayne Song or the worn-out feel of Sunday Morning Blues. Kudos to Martin and pals Scott Martin, Eric Gonzales and Dan Seymour. Even on looser tracks like John Wayne Song, the musicianship is tight. Standout tracks: Sweet Breianna; your next favorite drinking song, John Wayne Song; the most depressing track you'll hear this year, Take Your Pills.
