Recording of “Under My Skin” began in 2015 under Grammy-winning producer Blue Miller, who draws on his experience with acclaimed acts such as Bob Seger. Six cuts recorded in Nashville with some of Music City’s finest musicians with Blue Miler at the helm, and four in the UK with Stuart McCredie producing. Mick’s raw gravel vocal holds the attention throughout the 10 cuts. The material – written by Mick or co-written with Blue Miller – focuses on Mick’s dreams and past trials and tribulations. The songs are fairly versatile, and he doesn’t stay within the confines of pure blues. It is very much “balls out” on the rockier up-tempo stuff, but offers a good balance with the light and shade of the more laid-back tracks. His guitar work is accomplished, technically top drawer and they are his own licks, he’s not a “Borrower.” It’s a good game of tones too.
