Welcome to the Other Side

A listen to Mike Clifford's CD 'Welcome To The Other Side' reveals a wandering spirit who effectively bridges the gap between country and rock, creating a unique sound all it's own. From the breezy opener 'Between The Highway And The Sky' (currently in rotation on a number of Texas radio stations) to the eerie yet thundering closer 'Crawl', this album features top-notch songwriting that is sure to please even the most discriminating listener. 'Welcome To The Other Side' recalls the great country-rock of 70s groups like The Eagles, CSN, America, Pure Prairie League, and Jackson Browne. 'I grew up on that 70s stuff and always enjoyed the tight harmonies and great storytelling' says Mike. 'Those influences are definitely evident throughout this CD.' Mike Clifford's vocal stylings have been compared to artists such as Vince Gill, Gordon Lightfoot, and Glenn Frey of the Eagles. With an impressive vocal range and a knack for creating memorable melodies with meaningful lyrics, he manages to create an album which is neither rock nor country, but rather the essence of both. Varied and assured, 'Welcome To The Other Side' is the perfect antidote to anyone fed up with the soul-less sounds coming out of today's Country and Rock radio.
