There is an easygoing confidence about Michael Mulholland with no trace of the swagger, one would expect from a recording artist who has made an impression in both the Music and Film & Television Industry, who has achieved notoriety and performed at innumerable standing-room-only shows.  So how did Michael Mulholland make music  and translate them to an unwavering audience?   The answer is in his Songs & Scores.  Quite simply and  honestly, Michael defies categorization.  He imaginatively reshapes and colors music and poetic landscapes...an uncharted terrain.  Diverting as it may seem, Michael does not write music pre-conceptually, it just comes out.  He says, "I spent my whole life catching songs thrown out to me, creating as a child...even though art was always in my environment, I never did it because I was a musician, I did it because it is in my heart."  Michael's songs & scores are significant for their content and composition.  Michael's songs reflect the plain-spoken wisdom of his upbringing.  They are an intimate journey of the pains and joys of life as seen through the eyes of a person who has abundantly experienced them both.    More than any other single factor... it is the square dealing of the unadorned truth and time-worn tradition that draws listeners to the music of Michael Mulholland.

Michael Mulholland  True Country CD is a perfect illustration of the singer/songwriter's success.  "Woke Up & Found Myself Here"  Caught up in whatever, fallen & sunk to the  lowest  one can ever sink, stuck in a rut, somewhere we all have been, but sometimes, as we all know, it is  rather hard to pull yourself out, pick up the pieces and rebuild, but there's one sure thing, for the most of  us, someone to guide us, someone to help us pick up those pieces to rebuild,  the  love & support we all need & certainly desire throughout time...Listen with a compassionate ear, make its your heart & soul that hears.  The second song, "Candy Coated Kisses"  This is an upbeat song,  melodic  dance track pointing out the all to well known euphemism, "Candy Coated," covering up the truth, plain and simple.  "We Gotta Stop Meeting Like This" hits the heart vigorously...breathtaking, heartrending, poignant, unparalleled in the lexicon of human emotion.  The fourth  track, "Little Things" life's simplest pleasures!  Here, Michael uses his distinctive expression to sing of the things that mean the most in love  and life — while the fifth cut, "As Good As It Gets" is founded on small town colloquialism that is bound to ring true with country music fans abroad.  Suddenly, you're two steppin into the night, all the way til' dawn.  In fact, Michael's infectious take on life is the single most cutting element of this CD.  "Stones Throw Away" compliments of hope for better-most are just a "Stones Throw  Away."  Seventh, "The Show" has the sweeping power of many Mulholland ballads, the one certain element Michael is all too familiar with,  and finally, "The Next Step"  time-stamped traditions, first steps taken, love and family!  His voice captures your attention from the very beginning of each song to the very end of its last note.  There are voices that leave  lasting impressions upon the listening ear, and Michael’s is one of them!  After all, Michael Mulholland is, as he is quick to point out, just a guy who sings.
