Notes: Michael Hakanson-Stacy has surely spent a lot of time playing music. From high school bands to his solo work, he has done his share of picking and sliding. His latest album is entitled "Two Bit Blues." What's unusual about this one is that he plays everything! From a truckload of resonator guitars to various mandolins, electric guitars and harmonica, this one is all him.
Many are updated versions of crowd favorites and some are brand spanking new like the title track and others. This one comes in a cardboard, factory sealed sleeve (eco-friendly) and notes on the songs are available upon request. We hope you like it real nice! Be sure to book Michael for a rootsy concert in your neighborhood. He's produced 27 projects for the Time & Strike label, many before roots music was cool.

Notes: If, after his 1993 CD debut, there were any questions about who Michael Hakanson-Stacy is and what he stands for, they are answered in no uncertain terms upon listening to his follow-up album, Lion's in the Den. He is an incredibly adept acoustic guitarist with a preference for the resonator and bottleneck types. He takes his songwriting and playing cues from the old-timey blues, folk and gospel giants like Muddy Waters, Blind Willie Johnson and Rev. Gary Davis, as well as contemporaries like John Fahey and Peter Case. Despite the wealth of material those artists have given us, Hakanson-Stacy prefers to write his own material. Like Bottle on my Finger. . .Blues to my Toes the lion's share of songs on this album are originals with nods to those other artists. And of his own compositions Hakanson-Stacy seems particularly gifted at the gentler, more tuneful folk pieces like "Where Would I Be?" a confessional love song, and "Letter of the Law," a piece rejecting legalism -- an original which sounds like The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan-era Dylan.

Notes: After several cassette-only releases this is Michael Hakanson-Stacy's first CD release. An all-acoustic recording, this album is divided between blues and folk, both of which Hakanson-Stacy seems to have a pretty solid handle on. A gifted picker, he excels on slide and resonator guitars and also receives guitar backing from singer/songwriter Brooks Williams on several selections. The more folksy numbers like "Down to My Soul" and "It Hurts Us So" resemble Sings like Hell-and Torn Again-period Peter Case; while the bluesier pieces invoke comparisons to Mississippi John Hurt and Leadbelly. Hakanson-Stacy wrote most of the songs on this album, and based on his style and delivery, it's evident that he's a student of not only traditional American guitar playing but the traditional songwriting nuances as well. This is an excellent release that would pave the way for several more such albums by Hakanson-Stacy in the coming years.
