Red River Drifter (2013)

2013 release from the iconic singer/songwriter, Red River Drifter quickly moved into the top of the Billboard Bluegrass Music Charts. In recent years Michael has been exploring the similarities between Bluegrass and American cowboy music. But for Red River Drifter, he brought in some very eclectic and unexpected elements to the writing process. ''I wrote songs that drew from what is inspiring me at this point in my life,'' he says. ''Every style was fair game. We intentionally did not follow formulas or rules.'' Critics are comparing Red River Drifter to seminal releases Geronimo's Cadillac and Blue Sky Night Thunder. 1 Peaceful Country 2 Under A Rolling Sky3 Secret Smile4 Faded Blues5 Shake It Off6 Hardscrabble Creek7 Mountain Storm8 The Gathering9 New Old Love10 Unfinished Symphony
