BRIGHT SIDE FANTASY was considered one of Chicago's best of 2008 by Richard Milne of WXRT and chosen as a CDBaby Editor's TOP PICK in 2008! THANKS RICHARD & CDBaby!
"The polished, slightly melancholy sound of "Bright Side Fantasy" begins with the enchanting, well-crafted ballad "Goodbye Austin", which is enough to make anyone stop and listen. But the tightly rhythmic pop rock of "Come On Mary" is something sure to get stuck in your head and make you come back to listen again and again. Seriously. It's a catchy, highly melodic tune and it still rocks your ass; it wouldn't sound out of place on Wilco's "Summerteeth". Walk's vocals are really great: strong and clear, yet with a hint of the grit that makes Ryan Adams' voice so alluring. However, the band is quite good in their own right. Every song has tightly crafted accents and nuances that draw you in and keep you interested. The lead guitar work is especially intriguing, like on the solo for "Above Water", or the subtle lead part of "Late Nights". To cap it all off, this album was self-produced, which is really cool, because the album sounds amazing and totally professional. The Micah Walk Band's songs have a way of weaving themselves into your subconscious, so you'll find yourself singing them days later and not even realize how they got there. This is a wonderful album from a band that's destined for greatness."
