"All Night Long" reviews and liner note info

9/17/2014

The music of a lifetime blended together in a ‘Big, Big Dream’. Mike is a musician of significant note and his songwriting abilities have taken on a new dimension, blending the true Gospel sounds flowing out of any Church on a Sunday morning, the Country that has been a large part of his musical career, the Bluegrass that is in his blood and the beauty of a Southwestern Mexican sunset. All of this is Mike Breen and he turns it into one of the finest independent releases you can find.
“Bleu” Mortensen’s soulful Dobro, Mike Cirillo’s Fiddle, Billy Parker’s untouchable Mandolin, industry veterans Mickey McGee and Doug Haywood on Cajon and Bass make up one of the finest bands you can find and they back Mike’s high lonesome vocal and musical talent with their own significant and special talents. Listen once, listen twice, and listen again, you’ll hear something new and memorable every time. Enjoy the Dream it will be a special one.
-- Keith Curtis

"...Listening to All Night Long, your ear can tell why Mike Breen collects friends like coupons offering specials. His vocal delivery is warm and inviting. His story lines are conversations about life and observations on its living moments. “Baby’s Comin’ in on a Plane” lets you feel the excitement of the guy at the gate whose heart beats a little faster with each departing passenger, “Cristina Valencia” slips south of the border to plead to the lady in the title for a little love light from her dark eyes and “Carnival Queen” walks the midway with love at your side." - Danny Mcloskey, THE ALTERNATE ROOT MAGAZINE
