Album Notes

Mick Reed is a New England singer-songwriter who plays a kind of Yankee Country-Blues rooted in traditional Americana songs and storytelling.

His debut album, "Courtney's Farm", blends elements of country, blues, jazz, and bluegrass in a timeless-sounding collection of fresh and original tunes. Mick is backed by an all-star supporting cast of some of the most talented up-and-comers in traditional Jazz, Blues, and Country. The album takes us to a place rooted deep in Americana which is full of characters, scenes, and places that come alive to us through rich description and soul-filling music.
