His newalbum How in the World? makes the most of this paradox, pairing his vocals with gentle accompaniment, dominated byhis relaxed but intricate acoustic guitar picking. (This record) leaves the listener in a quiet, reflective mood."- Meg Whalen - Charlotte the City Magazine, Jan. 2006"How in the World? finds Strauss settling in with full force and focus on his acoustic music side. Lyrically, the new CD offers a collection of songs that reflect a world-weary warmth and a degree of cynicism from the perspective of someone who embraces and enjoys life with all it's twists and turns. Musically, the playing and production are top-notch."- Michael O'Brein - The Hampshire Review, Dec. 14th 2005"This dude is unbelievable...an amazing songwriter - a warm, gritty, lyrical storyteller."-The Creative Loafing - Charlotte, Nov. 2nd 2005"I was impressed by Mike Strauss. He was playing solo with a bluesy, finger-picking style acoustic guitar. He had a great voice, very reminiscent of Mark Knopfler, and he was a great songwriter. His songs had a bluesy, rootsy feel to them. He seemed one of those genuinely honest artists, shyly geeky and just happy to be up there playing -- which is a high compliment, I think!"Larry Karnowski, of Hickory Wind. org a review of a show at the Six String Cafe in Cary, NCposted 5/30/2005 Mike Strauss How In The World?

Woody Guthrie's son Arlo successfully made a name for himself with a body of work that falls under the shadow of his father only peripherally. Beginning as a sort of comic troubadour, Arlo laid out a persona that was all his own with "Alice's Restaurant Masacree." He followed his debut album with another in a similar vein--ARLO, which yielded "Motorcycle (Significance Of The Pickle)." This was followed by a series of smartly written, arranged and produced albums ...

How In The World? songs
$14.79
The tree shaped like a guitar in the moonlight sets the mood for Adam Mugavero's debut, Breathe. The album kicks with "History," a quiet, psychedelic folk song whose production immediately draws attention to itself. There's plenty of reverb on Mugavero's vocals, and the stripped arrangement of acoustic guitar, strings, and piano fits the slightly left-of-center lyric. "Air," on the other hand, expands toward the baroque, creating a mixture that Bach -- had he lived in Greenwich Village and been influenced by Dylan -- probably would've concocted. Of course Bach, imagining himself as the air, probably would've found something more profound to comment on besides touching a girl's breast. The production expands to full-fledged pop on the choruses of "Already Miss You." Depending on the listener, these songs might be described as intriguing or weird. The ...

Her earliest musical influences were sounds of Makem and Clancy, Planxty and Bob Dylan being played by her parents as they drove around the Caribbean island of Trinidad where she lived as a child.
