Midwest Action!, a site with some street cred around the heartland, recently reviewed my He Flies album. I probably won’t destroy any suspense by saying they liked it. Otherwise, why would I be putting up a link to the review here? But I did think the reviewer had an interesting take on He Flies, and the site imbedded mp3s of of four of the 
album’s songs. I was also surprised to see which four they chose to imbed. Anyhow, the review’s at: Midwest Action!

He Flies: Some Info
3 Apr
We just finished a CD called He Flies, and it’s streaming free at BandCamp:
The CD is also available at CD Baby and digital downloads are available there, too. Digital downloads are also available at Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, and everywhere else you can download music. (At iTunes just get into the store & search for “He Flies by Kent McDaniel.”)
The lyrics to all the songs are up at BandCamp, too.
And here are the people who played on the album:
Alpha Stewart plays percussion and/or drum kit on “May You Still Believe,” “He Flies,” and “Big Jim.” He’s who we count on for drums when we play out.
Robert Marshall plays drums on “Zombies Stink (& Vampires Suck),” “May Third,” & “Your Love Set Me Free.” He also mixed and mastered the album, at The Cave Recording in Evanston, Illinois.
Dorothy McDaniel, plays bass and flute.
Andy MacCrimmon plays drums on “Over Yonder & Round The Bend,” “Cards on the Table,” and “Dance Till Morning Light.”
Nicki Broeker sings harmony on “Cards on the Table.”
John Temmerman plays sax and saxello on “May You Still Believe” and “Cards on the Table.”
Gus Friedlander plays banjo on “over Yonder & round the Bend.”
Kent McDaniel is on vocals, acoustic and electric guitar. And wrote the ten originals on the album.
Yeah, he flies.

Here’s video of “He Flies,” recorded last weekend in Chicago. Previous performances of the song are out there, but I think this is the best one we ever got on video. The lyrics are underneath the video:
HE FLIES
LITTLE BIRD SITTIN ON A TELEPHONE WIRE
LITTLE BIRD SITTIN THERE ALL ALONE
HE’S A SINGER & HE’S A HIGH FLYER
HE’S A ROVER FROM PARTS UNKNOWN
TOMORROW AIN’T GOT HIM UPSET
& HE DON’T CARE ABOUT YESTERDAY
HE GOT HERE LAST SPRING I BET
LEAVES TURN BROWN & HE’LL FLY AWAY
HE FLIES. YEAH, HE FLIES.
LITTLE BIRD SINGIN BOUT THE NEW DAY
LITTLE BIRD SINGIN BOUT THE DAWN
HE FEELS FINE & DON’T CARE WHAT YOU SAY
HE’S GONNA GO WHERE HE FEELS DRAWN
THAT BLUE SKY & HIM GO WAY BACK
& HIM & THAT SUNSHINE SURE DO TOO
HE’S GOT WINGS & GOT THE KNACK
WHEN IT’S TIME, HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO
HE FLIES. YEAH HE FLIES.
LITTLE BIRD DONT KNOW WHERE HIS OWN HOME’S AT
LITTLE BIRD DON’T EVEN CARE
HE AIN’T WORRIED BOUT A BIT OF THAT
IT’S ON BEYOND & HE’S BOUND THERE
HE DON’T KNOW WHAT’S RIGHT OR WHAT’S WRONG
HE DON’T KNOW THE TIME OF DAY
BUT HE KNOWS THE DAY IS LONG
& THE BREEZE FLOWS &, OH, BY THE WAY
HE FLIES. YEAH, HE FLIES.
HE FLIES.
It’s one of our originals.
That’s Dorothy McDaniel on bass & vocals, Alpha Stewart on percussion & vocals, John Temmerman on sax, and me (Kent McDaniel) on guitar & vocals. Recorded on a Zoom Recorder.
Us.
Needed this “cover” for the music download sites.
