Santa Cruz-based singer/songwriter Michael Gaither has done a bit of everything: journalist, corporate trainer, even joke writer for Jay Leno. All roads danced around—and eventually led back to—writing. And music. He favors songs with stories and tales of day-to-day life, as first shown in his debut CD, the 2006 release Spotted Mule and Other Tales.

Dogspeed, his 2009 follow up, is another Americana story collection, backed up by a mix of electric and acoustic guitars, harmonica, and little ukelele this time out. The humorous "bad driver, big cars" thread from the first record continues on Dogspeed with "Hang It Up", a rant about cell phone abuse.
