5 out of 5 stars A Perfect Album in every way.......2002-04-01

I own all of Michael Mcdermott's albums and, while I greatly enjoy his first three efforts, I believe this is the first one that could be called a perfect album. It seems to me in 620 W. Surf, Gethsemane, and Michael Mcdermott, he was perfecting his craft. In Bourbon Blue, there is not one song that is not perfect; there is not one out of place line or note as occasionally surfaced on the first three albums. I would recommend this album to anyone who appreciates the singer-songwriter genre. Michael Mcdermott can write slow introspective songs one moment (as on Murder on her lips, my sweet rapier, lady jack of irons) and rock out the next (20 miles south of nowhere, jezebel, junkie girl). His songs are always meaningful and his verses quite poetic.

4 out of 5 stars A very good album.......2000-08-22

This is singer/songwriter music with some kick. Deeply personal songs that introduce us to a range of characters, misfits if you will, but nevertheless draw us in. Surrounding these engrossing lyrics is a wide variety of music, from Wallflower-esque rock to beautiful piano solos to Irish folk songs. This is a talented guy and this is a very good album.

5 out of 5 stars Bourbon Blue.......2000-06-13

This albumn quickly became one of my most listened to albumns. The songs have become familiar, and beg to be heard over and over again. From the catchy 'Twenty Miles South of Nowhere'; the deeply-piercing 'Murder On Her Lips' and 'Rythem Of The River'; the haunting 'Bourbon Blue', this is a quality albumn.

The albumns of Michael McDermott have always been great to listen to. They're never over-produced, always introspective. Unlike much of the music produced today, McDermott's music always comes across as personal, 'me-singing -to-you', with authentic feeling.

5 out of 5 stars Not Kitchy Pop.......1999-12-30

I've been listening to Michael McDermott's music for about six years now. This is Michael's fourth record, and this time he produced it himself without the help of a major label. "Bourbon Blue" is by far his greatest record to date. This is not some throw away pop album or forgettable rock record. "Bourbon Blue" is full of introspective lyrics that detail emotions we all trudge through, and paint pictures of characters we have run across or have been. Michael has been compared to Springsteen, Dylan and others in the genre, but his music is a rare gem these days in the world of pop/rock. Get this album, check out www.myklmcdermott.com to learn more and catch him in the Chicago area whenever he plays a gig.

5 out of 5 stars A shame this guy has gone undiscovered by the masses.......1999-12-17

Michael McDermott is an artist whose incredible talent is going undiscovered. An amazing songwriter, as illustrated on such songs as "Murder on her Lips", "Lady Jack of Irons", and the hidden track "Bourbon Blue", Michael weaves in and out of people's lives like none other. Emotionally charged lyrics, coupled with in depth stories about those people who surround him both in the past as well as in the present, McDermott is a treasure, going unnoticed in these times of average talent and one hit wonders. McDermott's entire discography is one for the ages.
