Michael Fracasso


Michael w/George Reiff at Tipitina's in New Orleans
1st Gavin Report Americana Convention
2/95


"He fashions 14 tracks that read
with all the depth and vision of a fine novel.
In a voice that crosses Roy Orbison's angelic swoon
with Buddy Holly's boyish trills,
Fracasso sings his poetic and picturesque compositions
with palpable emotion."


Robert Fraser 1/95 onWhen I Lived In The Wild

"Michael Fracasso's World in a Drop of Water
establishes him as a great rock writer."

~ Dave Marsh
Playboy - July 98


"No other artist playing the folk/rock circuit today
comes as close to really putting all the great strains
of American music into such a cohesive package.
Only Springsteen with "Born to Run" and Petty
with "Damn the Torpedoes" have come as close
to such a definitive album that rocks without
being adolescent..."

~ Greg Johnson
Oklahoma Gazette - April 98


Michael's songs remind us why we still seek out great songwriting.
In five minutes or less he can make us feel like we couldn't
have spent the time better were we reading Tolstoy or Joyce....

And then there's that voice.

Like the great vocalists to whom he has been compared
(Roy Orbison, Gene Pitney, Buddy Holly), Michael is
simultaneously wry and forlorn, ephemeral and urgent,
down but not out. His voice touches us in many places
at once, and his touch leaves us renewed and more alive.
