Mike June
"Talkin' Revolution Blues"

Released in 2012

Mike June is a singer-songwriter who grew up in New Jersey. After several years in Austin, he and his wife (musician Jess Klein) moved to North Carolina. He's released some of my favorite albums of the 2000s. In 2012, two different releases of his: "Exile on Wilson Street" and "Talkin' Revolution Blues" both wound up on my best of the year list.
