Bio / Background
If you think you’ve heard all there is to say about heartbreak and life on the road, chances are you haven’t listened to Santa Rosa resident singer/songwriter/bandleader Michael Thomason. His straight-from-the-hip songs about loneliness, betrayal and good love gone bad put a new spin on eternal country themes in a resounding twang that proudly displays the influences of Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams and Elvis.
On his latest CD, “Ridin’ the Night Train”, Thomason brings the emotional essence of life’s hard knocks into sharp focus, with spare lyrics rendered in an unsentimental voice that says, “This is how it really happened.” Stylistically, the CD covers a lot of ground. It includes ballads, breakneck 12-bar shuffles, accordion-laced Norteño, a nod to Hank Williams, as well as fresh covers of tunes by Steve Earle and Leonard Cohen.
The overall vibe, though, is Bakersfield.
