Great tone and beautiful playing with feel. Mike is a great all rounder.

Killer!

Mike did that at the last Phoenix steel show, and it was one of the best things I've ever heard on the steel.

I went ahead and bought the whole session. It's easily worth the $10. Mike did our instrument proud.

Mike Smith came to town a while back. Now he has all the best paying gigs and took over all the studio work and has lots of guys that want to pick with him and now this! Will it ever stop!?

Seriously he's one of my heroes. His playing is awesome!
Rick, I really like the stuff you come up with on the steel guitar. It's great!

Mike got my attention when he was with the Gatlin Brothers. He is an absolute killer player in all styles of music. I agree, it's time for more exposure!

I make special trips to steel shows just to see him. I leave the seat I'm sitting in when he comes on, and go find one abandoned set upfront and just sit there and am amazed. RP
