Much Missed Mickey R.I.P

Mickey's "American Trilogy" came first of course, and was the best--with that "Nashharmonic" backing. Elvis did nothing new with it at all--except give Mickey more recognition out there. Then, he got help from Waylon's plug in "Luchenbach Texas"

This man arranged the best song of all time, both Elvis & Mickey's version are genius

Pure Class.

I appreciate reading the comments here. Other than on Harlequin Melodies, Mickey retained artistic control. He was fierce about that. And it was all worth it, no matter how much popular success it may have cost him, he always stayed true to his muse.

I only had one of his albums in the 1970s,but i'm just beginning to see how good he really was.

Like I've always said about Mickey....Out on the Avenue, we were all Mick Jagger and Johnnie Cash and Waylon and big and bad and kick ass, but no one would ever admit the real truth....when we stumbled home at 4am, we were all really Mickey Newbury deep down inside. (Buy Mickey's Box Set, you will NOT regret it! Then buy everything else.)MY favorite CD? "Lulled by the Moonlight".
