(Oct 2007) First, think of a song that is, well, about nothing, except everyday experiences. Then, mix in a tune that is about everything. Is it possible for these two types of songs to be combined into one hit? Now, get prepared to turn it up Super Loud!

Singer/songwriter Mark McKinney answers the aforementioned question with his inaugural CD, Get It On. Impressively, his first solo effort has numerous songs that are about just that ΓΓé¼ΓÇ¥ life. After all, everything + nothing = everyday life. Throughout the 13-song disc, the Big Spring, Texas, native mixes his country-rock voice with lyrics which you ΓΓé¼ΓÇ¥ yes you, the TMT reader ΓΓé¼ΓÇ¥ can easily relate to.

In addition to his powerful singing, the enthusiastic entertainer penned all 13 tracks. Furthermore, McKinney also plays a mean acoustic guitar and harmonica on the CD.

McKinneyΓΓé¼Γäós debut single, ΓΓé¼┼ôComfortable In This Skin,ΓΓé¼┬¥ has been prowling about the Texas Music Charts. Though his first single release is definitely a chart-worthy hit, this Super Loud Music production is far from a one-hit wonder disc. For Example, McKinney exhibits his soft side in the love-interpreted tunes ΓΓé¼┼ôFall,ΓΓé¼┬¥ ΓΓé¼┼ôAddicted,ΓΓé¼┬¥ and ΓΓé¼┼ôAre We Doing This.ΓΓé¼┬¥ In addition, he proudly pipes songs about the regular manΓΓé¼Γäós life in his first single, ΓΓé¼┼ôStomping Ground,ΓΓé¼┬¥ and ΓΓé¼┼ôStory of My Life.ΓΓé¼┬¥ Also, he even mixes in a few songs about the pains that love can bring with the powerful efforts of ΓΓé¼┼ôBonfire,ΓΓé¼┬¥ ΓΓé¼┼ôReckless in Texas,ΓΓé¼┬¥ and ΓΓé¼┼ôDeal Breaker.ΓΓé¼┬¥

Now, turn it up more!

Perhaps the best, not to mention most hilarious song on the disc is the popular ΓΓé¼┼ôThe Myspace Song.ΓΓé¼┬¥ McKinney playfully pokes fun at fictitious members of the siteΓΓé¼Γäós numerous guests. The song is completely in jest, and anyone who knows anything aboutwill get a laugh from the songΓΓé¼ΓÇ¥yes, even Tom. In fact, if not for his myspace site,this writer would not have become such a huge McKinney fan.

Obviously, Get It On is jam packed with a powerful variety of vocals and music, boasting lyrics to match. Growing up a fan of country and some rock-and-roll music, it is not surprising that a touch of rock can be heard in many of this talented performerΓΓé¼Γäós singles. His passionate voice blends both genres very well.

Chances are that after listening to the entire CD, you will start the disc over, and over, and overΓΓé¼ΓÇ¥I know I did. Granted, there are a few favorites on the disc that stand out from the others. However, whereas most discs give a listener two to five ΓΓé¼┼ôgoodΓΓé¼┬¥ songs if the CD purchaser is lucky, Get It On should provide tremendous listening pleasure on at least ten of the tracks.

Now, whatever you do, remember that Get It On is best enjoyed Super Loud.

So, turn it up, kick back, and let the good times roll.
