A review of a Mighty Cash Cats show in the Los Angeles Music Connection Magazine:
“Michael J Smith leads the performance playing a black acoustic guitar. It is impossible not to be drawn to the bass texture of his voice–and his physical and aural resemblance to Johnny Cash is practically eerie. Letica Blumette steals the stage with the energy covering songs by Shania Twain, Gretchen Wilson and Pat Benatar. The Mighty Cash Cats are purely live entertainment for a live audience. They know how to talk to the crowd and maneuver their instruments and voice to create a body of sound for each song, no matter the genre or mood. The Mighty Cash Cats are a band with the musical chops to cover Cash, Benatar and Idol. They closed with Cash’s Orange Blossom Special to raccous applause!” http://musicconnection.com/digital/
Mighty Cash Cats won the Los Angeles Examiner’s Music award ”Best Work Ethic Award” category:
“The Best Work Ethic” award goes to the group who inspired the creation of the category: The Mighty Cash Cats. They are know for playing entertainingly solid sets of three hours or more. It’s called giving people their money’s worth, folks. Bruce Springsteen, The Kinks and Paul McCartney all know about this and so do The Mighty Cash Cats.” http://www.examiner.com/list/the-first-annual-phoenix-music-awards/the-phoenix-music-awards-special-categories-best-work-ethic
