Mike Herrera's Tumbledown (End Sounds, 2009)
Mike Herrera's Tumbledown
Reviewed by Dan MacIntosh
With Butcher Of San Antone, Herrera pulls off a good old murder song, which more than solidifies his Cash-ly inspiration. He also sounds like a younger Jerry Lee Lewis when he resorts to fisticuffs with Came Here to Fight. Although Herrera's pastor may not approve of his motives, Let's Drink resorts to alcohol as a solution for boredom when Herrera admits, "There's nothing else to do here in this town." And while this self-titled work rocks a bit, Tumbledown proves it knows how to handle an acoustic country workout with Herrera will never pass for a country singer, but he at least sings a whole lot better than Ness' semi-melodic croak, which makes Herrera's Miller time a good time all around.
