It eluded us then, but that’s no matter — tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther... And one fine morning —— So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

F. Scott Fitzgerald - The Great Gatsby Named after the Fairport Convention song, Crazy Man Michael takes such classic English narrative songwriting as a touchstone and adds a literate, romantic edge that encompasses folk traditions from Bert Jansch to Iron & Wine. Using almost entirely acoustic instrumentation, 'The Green Light' loosely takes F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby' as its emotional inspiration. It is intelligent, subtly yet openly political and unafraid to be emotionally raw; searching, sensitive, weather-beaten but always hopeful. In short, a very special record.

'The Green Light' offers cautious hope in uncertain times, a gentle plea to hold true to ideals alongside the madness of the modern landscape. Crazy Man Michael comes to you with his arms open wide and his heart optimistic and proud! Now's the time to join his growing army of gentle souls.
