DESCRIPTION:
The host of the Gibson Austin Backroom Bootleg Sessions has to get in at least one song on every session, which adds up to quite a catalog by now for respected Austin-area songwriter Mike Ethan Messick. This time around he finally got some instrumental backup, courtesy of his friends Josh Droegemueller on fiddle and Slim Bawb on the mandolin ... check out the original on his 2011 album "The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday" if you like this one. Messick's playing the Kristofferson J-200 signature model, which you'll see in nearly every video from this round of Bootlegs.
