Mike's plowing new ground. He's not re-recording the old Hollywood matinee music from the 30's and 40's. You've got to have focus and keep producing good stuff. I think he walks that.... he's better than all those newer western guys." Ian Tyson

Mike Beck
California -based Mike Beck sings and writes about the West. Mike's songs often evoke the language and characters of the old West. IN OLD CALIFORNIA with a gut-string guitar lead like that of Marty Robbins' EL PASO; the waltz VAQUERO about how urban sprawl has devoured the west ; ROPIN' TO DO about the joy of the work ; and the celebratory rocking LIFE OF A BUCKAROO- they all spring from the fount of real experience. Beck is a winsome singer, writer and player."
