Album Notes

Mike Clifford's second full-length CD "All Night All Day" blends diverse styles such as traditional country, Texas swing, California country-rock, roadhouse blues, and good old rock and roll. The result is a unique sound that both country and rock fans will surely appreciate, with plenty of danceable and memorable tunes.


"All Night All Day" fully explores the country-rock music styles of Texas and California, literally bridging the gap between the two in the uptempo romp "Get the 'L' Outta L.A.", which evokes shades of both Dwight Yoakum and Asleep At The Wheel. "Having lived in southern California and Texas, I've been exposed to many different music styles relating to country and country-rock music" says Mike. "Not many people realize that during the dust bowl migration in the 1930s, people from Texas and Oklahoma brought an early form of country music out to California. That music, Bob Wills swing and Tex-Mex music, formed the roots of what eventually became known as California Country-Rock. On my new album, I've tried to present some of that musical evolution, from Bob Wills to the the Bakersfield sound to the Country-Rock of bands like The Eagles."


The CD features an array of guest performers including Mike Daily from George Strait's Ace In The Hole band on steel guitar, Texas legend Chris Gage on piano, and up-and-coming songbird Elizabeth McQueen on backing vocals.


A logical evolution of the California Country-Rock laid down on Mike Clifford's first CD "Welcome To The Other Side" (also available on the CDBaby website), "All Night All Day" combines that sound with the true Texas Honky-Tonk sounds desperately missing from most of today's major label releases.

Fun, catchy, rockin, can't seem to take it out of my CD changer

I guess the true mark of a great CD is whether I want to take it out of my CD changer. And I can't. A friend gave me the CD and I love it. Great mix of tunes and funny, smart lyrics. I normally put my CDs on shuffle, but the mix of ballads, country, rockabilly, party music is great -- so I catch myself listening just to Clifford over and over (ON REPEAT, NOT SHUFFLE!) "Senorita", "Lonesome by Myself," "L Outta LA" -- I dig them best. I don't know where this dude came from - but this CD should be required to be stocked in bar jukeboxes all across Texas. It just puts me in a good mood. What can I say??

A unique, remarkable and well-produced CD.

I’ve had this CD for a few weeks now and have now concluded that this album is quite remarkable and truly is a Rhinestone in the Rough. Mike Clifford takes you on a Honky-Tonk roller coaster ride through the country on this one! What is not to like on All Night All Day. This CD has a little bit of everything – from great toe-tappin’ two-steppin’ fun to the cry-in-your-beer type tunes…it’s all good! Some stand-outs include Senorita, Get the “L” Outta L.A., Between The Highway and the Sky, and Goin’ Down Swingin’. The production on this CD is superb too. You can really appreciate the hard work and musicianship on this one. The steel guitar and piano work really put life into Mike’s lyrics. His voice is firin’ on all cylinders and puts him right up there with the country industries best. A must have in any CD collection !

Another Winner From Mike Clifford!

"All Night All Day" is a good, solid, fun listen from the first song to the last. "Senorita" is my favorite song from this CD, but there isn't a song I don't enjoy. Since I'm a sucker for baritones and generally prefer traditional country, I've been pleasantly surprised how much I enjoy Mike Clifford's work. To me, he has an original sound that blends the influence of several genres into a sound that is distinctly his own. I hear an influence of Marty Robbins in "Senorita" but only at a level which pays homage to the talent of that artist. My second favorite song on this CD is "Happy Anniversary, the lyrics of the song really appeal to me.
