Quotes from “Something About Us” Recording

"A songwriter is only as good as the singer who interprets his work.
Therefore, we tend to be critical about our messengers. I can't imagine
a more eloquent troubadour than Michael O'Brien. One of God's most
gifted singing Angels!" (Hugh Martin - Songwriter of “Have Yourself a
Merry Little Christmas”) ”One of my favorite singers of all time with
one of the greatest voices I have ever heard.”
(Mark Wills – Country Artist)

“Michael O'Brien has outdone himself! This album is wonderful, and
highly recommended for all married couples. It's about time that
someone has given us a clean, passionate, beautiful backdrop for
falling in love all over again. The lyrics are vunerable, honest, and
flavored with poetry. The singing is classic yet fresh, and the
production is sonically beautiful, and very tastefully done. Out of
four stars, I'd give it a six!”
(Nicole Mullen – Artist/Songwriter)

“Michael O’Brien is such a phenomenal talent. His voice is a rare breed
in today’s musical climate. I’m a sucker for music with a nostalgic

commitment and even fewer live it out. He reminds us all what true love
is all about.”

soothing. It is refreshing." (Wayne Kirtpatrick - Songwriter/Producer

must." (Randy Phillips - Artist with Phillips,Craig and Dean)
