McPeake & May - The Good Things (Outweigh the Bad)

Bob Piekiel on McPeake & May, “The Good Things”

The CD is done entirely with a four-piece band–Curtis on banjo, Andy May on guitar & vocals, Aubrey Haynie on fiddle, and Tim Dishman on bass. The result is a performance with lots of refreshing “breathing space” in each song, with each instrument tastefully placed in the context of the whole selection…. It’s one of those albums you can listen to over and over and hear something a little different each time. Old or young, veteran or novice, all will enjoy this treasure.

Jamsphere: “Room for Roots” by Andy May

I’ve been waiting a long time for this album, it was worth the wait. …[T]here are few other songwriters who get small town and real American life than Andy May. “Room for Roots” is one of his best examples of that skill. …You can feel the salt of life in his songs. The album has the great acoustic simplicity for most of the songs that just lets Andy’s soul shine through.

Andy seems to write of only real life; if not life lived by himself, then life that is carefully observed and empathized with until a true story emerges. ⇨ Read more

“Chesapeake Music Guide on “Second Wind” by Bill Mulroney

The production by Andy May is perfect for the material presented, very clean and uncluttered. The emphasis seems to be on the lyrical content, so the vocals are clear and right up front, with the backing musicians’ individual instruments very well defined and spread across the entire soundstage. ⇨ Read more
