INCREDIBLE,AMAZING,FABULOUS!!.......2003-12-19

Back From The Dead is one of the best locally produced albums I've heard in a while. It offers a variety of styles from the classic rock rhythms of Cool Rockin Daddy to the soulful slide of 5 Minutes More.
Mike Metzger's creativity really shines on this album! Songs like Drinkin Money and Cursed poke fun without being overtly silly and pieces like Swamp Thang and the cool instrumental,Incredibly Swingy Jazzy Thing In "D",show a technical versatility missing in so many of the bands popular in the clubs today.
The rest of the ensemble,Robert Jacob on bass,Mike Quinlan on drums and percussion,along with a guest lineup from some of Pittsurgh's best and brightest,add so much to the album one doesn't know where to begin to heap the praise!
The back up vocals range from Doo Wop on Losing You and If You Let Me to an almost punk feel on Just Go. The instrumentation on the whole CD is complex without being overbearing with guests like Hermie Granati on piano and Southside Jerry Mellix on Saxophone adding dimesion and depth to the superbly skilled supporting cast of Rob Jacob and Mike Quinlan.
Anyone who enjoys good music that isn't a carbon copy of everyone elses stuff will find Back From The Dead a welcome addition to their collection.

Raw and uncut, with a hell of a lot of rhythm.......2003-10-11

Memphis Mike wrote 15 of the 17 songs on this album and he's bull-headed and stubborn about his brand of rock 'n' roll, and that's what makes his newest album his best yet. What'cha get is almost a full 54 minutes of some of the best roots rock 'n' roll and rockabilly music you could ever care to hear. Starting of with the fast paced, hard knocking original "Just Go". The rhythm is set, it all rock 'n' roll from here on in. Heavy bass lines and just the right amount of distortion on the rhythm guitar, varied with some real gone lead breaks, is what you experience on Mike's own "Cool Rocking Daddy", followed by a superb rendition of Johnny & The Jailbirds' "Lonestar Boogie". The beat goes on with "Boo Hoo", great 50s style lyrics with Mike raising his voice just a little bit, "I want you outta my house!" Ouch...

Back to blues basics with "Drinking Money" with it's stomping rhythm and hard hitting drums, before rolling right back into the rockabilly mood with "Late At Night" and "If You Let Me". The next song "Cursed" rocks by a little spooky and creepy, reminding of the early 60s horror songs, while "5 Minutes More" is the closest thing to a ballad on this album. A cool moody blues song, which proves perfectly the possibillities of Mike's eery voice.
