Lucky - 2857

Review "...a natural and unpretentious voice...rambunctious slide guitar...with infectious realness be bares his soul." -- Clubs and Pubs, Sonoma County, CA "He's a seasoned, soulful, salt of the earth virtuoso...singing clean from the gut as if life and music naturally mix and match." -- CRUZAN Magazine, Santa Cruz, CA "No pretense or facade; just pure, honest music from the heart. Overman's wailing slide-playing can raise hair on the back of the neck...an unsung hero of the 'broken bottle'." -- Showcase Music Times, San Jose, CA Product Description Overman is a Bay Area Legend and 'Iron Man Of The Road'. He's a poet and a master musician and 'Bluesy Folk & Roll with Jazz Attitude' is the best description of his music and performance. His singing and guitar playing are accurately described as 'Berklee College of Caveman'. Overman has long been regarded as one of the west coast's hardest working (as many as 379 performances in one year) and prolific artists. In addition to being an impactful and dynamic solo performer Overman's band consistently features some of the bay area's most gifted and talented musicians. Produced by bassist Myron Dove and considered sonically superior 'Lucky.' is a favorite of Mick's records among musicians. Overman steps out as a guitarist and showcases his slide style. Between the rock cuts and the organic acoustic takes the record has a jazzy and atmospheric texture. Drummer Jimmy Sanchez (Roy Rogers & the Delta Rhythm Kings) and keyboardist Lizz Fischer (John Lee Hooker Band) support dynamically along with Santana percussionist Karl Perazzo and keyboardist John R. Burr. The relentless 'Right Where It Started From' and the ethereal 'Korean Woman' with Myron's lyrical bass solo stand out as well as the autobiographical 'Down The Block' which was written during the final hours of recording. The first performance of the song is what you hear. About the Artist Mick Overman, a talented and gifted songwriter, singer, and guitarist continues to charm audiences in hundreds of venues throughout the West and Northwest with his intimate and impactful performances which reveal an artist with maturity and depth. A true poet, his stage energy is captivating and charismatic, drawing his listeners in with a music style best described a "bluesy, folk & roll with jazz attitude".
