Reviews!

"Must brag about those band members. Mike Shipp, well . . . I don't think I can describe the talent. The guitar solo that he and another member performed while playing the military song, (the name of it escapes me) was so good it brought me to tears. And that is no small task I assure you."- Kristina (Austin show at Antone's)

"I don't think I realized how truly talented Mike Shipp actually is. I've heard him play, but nothing is as entertaining an experience as watching Mike Ship showcase his talent with the Boxmasters. Mike Shipp was playing an excellent guitar ensamble while puffing a skinny cigar on-stage, and was talented and gracious enough to reach down and accept a T-shirt I wished to preasent to Billy Bob . . . You just read it folks! ! How can someone be this talented and gracious all at the same time? I was truly amazed. I purchased a T-shirt for Billy Bob at an event in Wrightsville Beach, NC earlier in the day. I. . . stuck a note on it for Billy. Unfortunately this note turned out to be more like a "novel" . . . and Mike and Billy were struggling to read it while onstage performing. Talk about talent." Amy (Myrtle Beach show at the House of Blues)

Great Review of Roosterboy CD!
News! Philip Martin of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette gives high marks to The Adventures of Roosterboy. "Michael Shipp has produced a sonically intriguing solo album. Taken together the songs form a loose cycle about the wandering of a down-and-out good ole boy from Arkansas who seems, to quote Sonny Terry, "lost in the blues." . . . Shipp is a consistently interesting guitarist in the Billy Gibbons/T-Bone Walker mode. He doesn't overplay, and the overall effect is nostalgic and novel--it sounds like a great lost record by a particularly thoughtful Southern bar rocker. Which maybe it is, it's just coming to the surface now." Click here for the full text of the review.
