The once king of AOR pop who fronted Jefferson Starship and the shortened Starship hasn't been around much in the rock n' roll world over the last decade of so. He returns with a cover song album that is about typical for older artists living in the past. Mickey does his version utilizing a lot of newer songs as well as rehashing some classics. At first glance you can tell that no money was spent on the cover art. It's terrible and that is being nice.
To the music we go and it all begins with a fourth rate cover of "Gimme Shelter" that sucks major donkey dick. This song has been done many times before better just about everytime as well. The cover version of "Sledgehammer" takes a great song and turns it into a fiery turd bomb. The record really doesn't do Mickey justice and his versions of these songs are pretty lame. His hip-hop tinged "Life Is A Highway" isn't the worst possible idea I've heard but it misses the mark as well. This one is a pass and it's a shame too because Mickey is better than this album. He really needs to re-think his career path and what his next step will be because another mistake of this magnitude. will be his end.
