Offbeat Magazine, March 2001 As with any progressing songwriter, their material over time becomes deeper and more thought provoking relative to earlier work. Such is the case with Mike West's Home, a profound piece of work that shows New Orleans' grassiest folkster isn't about to deplete his reservoir of creative juices anytime soon. This time it's even more apparent how penetratingly observant West's writing is. He articulates situations that escape the ordinary eye, then relates those tales from the voice of his subjects.
