CD Reviews: Mike Farley
Mike Farley grew up on Long Island, NY and was in several metal bands in his teens,
playing and worshipping groups like Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and Judas Priest.
That later changed to the Police, the Fixx, Journey, Bryan Adams and all the
other MTV bands. His current tastes are all over the rock map, but basically
Mike is a songwriter who likes good songs. He released his fourth
album,
Blue,
in 2002 on his own label and resides in Nashville, TN. He and his wife Jen own
PR firm Michael J. Media Group.
