I came across Mickey about 2 years ago while watching a show on TV...Sweet Memories was playing, but I didn't know who was singing. I Shazam'd it, and here pops up Mickey Newbury, who I came to learn wrote and composed the song, which Andy Williams later popularized. I'm 37, play a few instruments and enjoy discovering music of all genres. Often, I try to seek out the obscure, but I'd never heard of Mickey Newbury (not to say he was necessarily obscure). Needless to say, compelled by his sound, his voice, and the raw emotion of his songs, I went down the rabbit hole reading about his life and listening to his music. I don't know how Mickey flew under the radar for me all these years...but I sure am happy I found his music. RIP, to the one of the greats of the music world who deserved more recognition than he ever received. Thank you for posting this video, too. There isn't much out there I've come to discover.
Have long appreciated Mickey and couldn’t figure out why he wasn’t more widely known. Besides his playing and singing, his songwriting was amazing, his songs evoked such emotion. He was a master at using metaphors and similes.
That’s kinda how I found him I was looking up different artist for She Even Woke Me Up To Say Goodbye when I found him I was 8:54 totally delighted. I listen to him probably every day now. He pops up on my playlists now. Can’t believe I never heard about him before
No version of the American Trilogy comes close to Mickey's. So unpretentious, honest, beautiful and deeply moving.
This one gave me chills from Mickey's first note.❤❤❤❤❤
The best....
