Album Notes

"a first-rate bit of poignant, aching balladry."
--Los Angeles Times

"LIFEBOAT INTO MIGHTY comes from SoCal urban-acoustic misfit Michael Miller. His voice ranges from scrub-brush whispers to a tenor that can chase a mandolin (both heard frequently on this EP). LIFEBOAT is a strong signature production, with extra musician muscle from members of The 77s and the Lost Dogs.

"Literally, I cannot think of a more engaging debut by a singer songwriter..."
--True Tunes Magazine

"Miller combines sparse but effective vocals and mandolin, Hammond organ, dobro and accordion with the usual guitar-bass-drums, and he creates magic."
--OC Register

Robert Kinsler, in the Orange County Register, declared Miller his "favorite acoustic act of the entire decade" and testified "'Lifeboat Into Mighty' is truly a Mighty Work".

How can someone be this good first time out? Full of vivid ballads and imagery, Miller sings about life as it is. And we've all been there. The spare and delicate instrumentation makes it all the more moving. A cd not to be without. Just brilliant.

A fine, subtle piece of work.

Miller demonstrates a rare gift of creating vivid images of loves lost and found in his lyrics. The music is loaded with subtle, nuanced performances, well crafted hooks and a tender vocal style that tugs at your ear. This is a release that has grown richer with each listen.
