Folky singer-songwriter from Omaha Nebraska. You'll hear a little light rock, a little blues, a little pop, and a little jazz. It is a "bread and butter USA mix of some of the freshest songs we've heard in a long time, particularly "Yahoo!" the title song from this signature album. It is truly a song that defies description. It moves, it lifts, it raises your spirit like no other popular song has ever done.
There are 11 other offerings total, and better yet, each one of them has that unmistakable Michael Deacon touch that makes a song like "Yahoo!" so endearing; and the vocal quality, musical tightness, lyrical lilt it's there throughout this masterpiece. Enjoy this lovely album at face value. Then look just below the surface you may be surprised at what you find. "Runnin' In The Meadow " is a little known Folk Psych gem originally released privately in 1975 as Deacon's debut, expanded to include four exclusive bonus tracks.
