From Attic to Album: The Musical Odyssey of Michigan Mick

It’s the month of June and we have just four episodes remaining in Season Four. Our guest this week is one of many Michigan musicians who have made their musical chops in the Greater Detroit area. New Baltimore native, Michael Hishon, aka ‘Michigan Mick’, released his first album ‘Big Leg Woman’ in 2024, and he stops in to talk about it in detail, along with a discussion about his baptism into the Blues as a young man on a hot Sunday night in the attic, when he turned on the family’s Zenith radio, and happened upon a gospel program with music from Mahalia Jackson and Son House among others. He also had great stories about his first contract to record on a label at age 18, albeit short lived, his work in the automotive industry and lots more. Be sure to check out his album after the interview, won’t you?Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100071174016081 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0cogz7VNb4if6kqOV6w6WF YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZZzoi7B4iGvwA2mChefRVg Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Big+Leg+Woman+Michigan+Mick&crid=3BQG6ZCAPKBWQ&sprefix=big+leg+woman+michigan+mick%2Caps%2C124&ref=nb_sb_noss_2_________________________Facebook: Time SignaturesYouTube: Time SignaturesFacebook: Capital Area Blues SocietyWebsite: Capital Area Blues SocietyFriends of Time Signatures _______Website: University of Mississippi Libraries Blues ArchiveWebsite: Killer Blues Headstone ProjectWebsite: Blues Society Radio NetworkWebsite: Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation
