The Greatest Album of the Year…
April 25th, 2007 | by Scott |…by the greatest songwriter of my generation has just been released online.
No artist has had anywhere near the impact on me that Michael McDermott has had. His music sustained me in the darkest spiritual period of my life. His words resonate with me like none other and I’m lucky to call him a friend.
One of the greatest crimes of the music industry is that he is not a household name.
I am exhausted of superlatives to describe his music. Just do this:
Go to this website and listen to the three tracks from his latest album, Noise From Words, and then buy the whole thing for just 8.99.
You won’t be sorry. You will be touched by songs of longing, brokenness and redemption. And you will be amazed at the depth of his lyrics and his master musicianship.
Then spread the word about Michael.

Seriously, it is that good. I’m sitting here at my desk unable to work because I can’t get these lyrics out of my head.

Hey Scott, I second, third, fourth……that cause he’s a household name in our home! Thanks for posting it….and here’s to alleviating that crime and then some!

Colleen, I can’t stop listening to it. It’s up there with his self-titled work in my estimation.

Uncle Mikey should give you some sort of cut for promotions.

Sweet! I was listening to self-titled again last night, and was just sitting here listening to clips from Ashes online when your post popped up in bloglines.
I’ll be listening to this shortly…

By the way, Scott, is the new album any good?

Listen to the transition between “Still Ain’t Over You Yet” and “Tread Lightly” then you tell me.
And yes, it’s stellar.

Scott, because of that Celine Dion video stunt of yours a little while back I am hesitant to trust your recommendations on anything musical.

Len, listen to it. If you don’t love it, I’ll reimburse you. In case I haven’t mentioned it, it’s that good.
