Guide Review - All Night, All Day - Mike Clifford
Mike Clifford not only wrote all songs, but he also produced the album & I must say he did a fantastic job on all fronts. As a fan of country music with a little bit of a kick to it, 'All Night All Day' has quickly become one of my favorites from the "Texas Country" scene & I am glad I found his music.First song "Senorita" has a Spanish flavor to it as Mike sings of a man who ended up in jail after a scuffle that he hoped would have landed him the chance to meet the lady he had his eye on instead of landing himself in jail. After a rather rough night, the next morning "Senorita" came to help him get out of jail & he vowed to spend next year's Cinco de Mayo just hanging out. "Honky-Tonk Road" is very dance floor worthy as is "I Can Be Lonely By Myself."
Title cut, 'All Night All Day' is about a man who has been on the straight & narrow for too long. Now he wants to be with a certain lady every day because she knocks him off his feet. "Get The 'L' Outta L.A." is a classic because it tells of a man that wanted to go to California to be a star but once he tried to get a few jobs they took one look at his boots & told him to leave because the "L" doesn't stand for Lubbock and the "A" isn't Austin. "Happy Anniversary" is one of the slower songs & the lyrics are very deep. Saying goodbye can be very lonely as illustrated in "The Loneliest Goodbye:" "If you think it's hard to say farewell, at least you get the chance to tell just how you feel just before you say goodbye."
