Country Singer (Mike Breen) 
copyright 1994 
Breensongs Pub BMI
Basilbone Records

Well, I’m a country singer 
and I play a fast guitar
Never made the big time 
just move from bar to bar

Been from here to heartache 
searching for the price of fame
but a thousand dusty bar rooms
can wear your life away


CHORUS
I’m a country singer
I don’t ask why
just sing for the way I feel
underneath the lights

Like a rollin’ river
Like a blue mornin’ sky
I’ll be a country singer
until the day I die



Now, when I was a young man
and the world was at my feet
everything I hoped for 
seemed just within my reach

but a taste for other women
and a drink or two too much
left me empty handed
all run out of luck

CHORUS
I’m a country singer
I don’t ask why
just sing for the way I feel
underneath the lights

Like a rollin’ river
Like a blue mornin’ sky
I’ll be a country singer
until the day I die



From Jackson Hole to Reno
Vegas to LA
I may not be a legend 
when I get up and play


But I’m every country singer
in every one horse town
and I’ll ride the same old circuit
‘till the honky tonks close down


CHORUS
I’m a country singer
I don’t ask why
just sing for the way I feel
underneath the lights


Like a rollin’ river
Like a blue mornin’ sky
I’ll be a country singer
until the day I die

A few reviews over the years...

 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."  -Alternate Root Magazine.
"It's always a pleasure to hear an independant CD that delivers the goods past the first cut and this release from Breen is such an example."   Sing Out Magazine
"A consistent quality rolls right through the third solo album and instro debut from singer-songwriter Mike Breen. On Mescal Mary & Other B Bender Guitar Instrumentals, Breen performs masterfully on the B and G bender guitar, a guitar device invented by one time Byrds guitarists Clarence White and Gene Parsons to resemble the sounds of the pedal steel guitar. Breen mixes his tasty electric work with his added banjo, mandolin and flatpicking guitar sounds."  " 20th Century Guitar by Robert Siverstein
"I wish all singer-songwriter albums were this rewarding."  Dirty Linen
"
​Mike Breen may be an unfamiliar name but his songs have that warm. lived in quality that lodge themselves firmly within the subconscious..." John O'Regan - Rock-N-Reel
One of..."the best of the real indies..." Carolyn Adams - WDIY-FM
