Details:
Duke Michaels, or ''DM'', as some friends might say, has his own recipe for success and good clean living: "We''re all simple engine''s and the better we can keep her that way, the better off we''ll be. So keep her simple". Duke Michaels is a storyteller that’s been around the prairie a time or two and knows the feeling of being in a ditch with no shovel. Duke has come from the ground up and taught himself how to build a good solid house and a well-structured song using his own toolkit of well-rounded skills and good common sense.
"Purple Sky Outlaw" was recorded like an early Bob Dylan or Acoustic Bruce Springsteen record in one weekend in order to bring back the art of storytelling into a modern day setting. Duke chose that classic folk style to capture the sound of "The Iron Range" region of Northern Minnesota and to pay tribute to his father and those working class people everywhere that have struggled all their lives to keep their family''s head above water. It was written and recorded shortly after the death of his father. No other musicians were on this record in order to produce a very honest and straight from the heart sound that DM could only get by himself to send out his love to his fathers life, his career in Mining, and the people in his life.
DM has no record company or big promotion behind him, so he’s learned to wear the many hats necessary to offer you a taste of his travels by cooking up his own brand and flavor of Country Music. Michaels has a concrete slab of songs and ideas he’s been hauling around in the back of his rig for some time now and that hard fought foundation continues to expand and add weight to his tires.
Like ''Rock ''n'' Roll'' when it starts to kick, ole Duker has turned into a modern day rider with the spirit of the ''Wild West'' running through his veins and new frontiers pounding at his chest. He rides with or against the wind and rolls with all the punches the land and sky has to offer. Duke has had the pleasure and opportunity to swallow more pride and eat more ‘horseshit ''n'' gunsmoke’ than most folks would ever own up to but refuses to be knocked off his horse. Like many warriors, Duke Michaels is all heart and his soul continues to guide him through every closed door that stands before him. He is driven by love and marches to the beat of his own drum while walking down his own highway. DM has learned to keep his eyes on the road and his feet stomping to the rhythm of his guitar strings strumming while he works out his ''new day songs'' and ''daily words''. His music has become an extension of the freedom he feels everyday under that purple sky he keeps close to his heart, and "The Purple Sky Outlaws" are his family and friends.
