Mickey Newbury - Lulled By The Moonlight

Originally released as a limited edition, Lulled By The Moonlight could well be seen as one the best works ever by Mickey Newbury.

Dedicated to the memories of Stephen Foster and Don Gant we are presented with seventeen tracks covering genres as diverse as country, jazz, pop and of course the unique ballads that have made Newbury one of America's, indeed the world's, best song writers.

Songs such as the dreamy Shades of '63, Amen For Old Friends and Three Bells For Stephen will leave you in reflective mood, thinking of times gone by, and that is exactly what makes Mickey Newbury so unique, his songs can mean something to every listener.

Somehow we can all relate to his song content in one form or another. Favourite track for me is Captured In Blue; in my opinion one of the greatest love songs ever written, an absolute classic song in both content and delivery.

If you are new to the work of Mickey Newbury, Lulled By The Moonlight is an ideal introduction to a songwriter of the highest order. Personally recommended. ~ James Soars
