Album review:
"Michael's new CD, "Tennessee Sunshine", is his best yet, a fine assortment of original compositions and guitar standards in the Atkins/Travis style. The tune for his wife, "My Beautiful Linda", is the pick of the CD, but not far behind are the other 12 tunes, including "Yesterday", "Sheik of Araby", "If You Could Read My Mind" and others." -- Mister Guitar (Journal of The Chet Atkins Appreciation Society), 2002
