Michael Doherty has a unique attitude toward life he’s always interpreting the world around him. I write music no matter what the world is doing and either way I’m not going to stop. Here’s a few excerpts from his latest review of “Thunder in the House” …

“Eliza Neals opens the album with “Speedy Beady,” with a good, mean blues vibe to immediately set the mood. “I got a red rooster,” she sings at the beginning, which reminds us of another great blues number, “Little Red Rooster.” But this original number soon goes in its own direction. I love that moment when it kicks in with a brutal force. The power was already there in Eliza’s vocals, of course. This song doesn’t shy away from violence, from death. “That boy protected me from harm/Then a mangy, mangy dog came sneaking up around/And he chomped Speedy Beady up into his jaws/He killed my favorite rooster/Now he’s in the ground.” But there is also a playful spirit to this song, a certain humor.”
