Marking the one year anniversary of the release of his sixth studio album, Ghost, Americana artist Mike Killeen drops the evocative, reflective single, Turn Out Fine. The new song, written by Killeen during the global pandemic of spring 2020, searches for hope and companionship amidst a suddenly altered world, where faith is fading, leadership is failing, and there’s nowhere left to go.
Killeen observes the forces both natural and man-made which instantly turned life inside out, while looking to both to provide meaning and hope: “There’s Tennessee tornados, And a virus going ‘round, It feels like spring’s been stolen, They say summer’s shutting down.” But in the end, with fine guitar strumming and harmonica threads, he knows, it’ll all “Turn Out Fine.”
Check out Turn Out Fine on your favorite streaming platforms, including Spotify, iTunes, and Amazon, beginning on May 29, 2020.

Saturn 5 Records proudly announces the release of “GHOST”! This is Georgia songwriter Mike Killeen’s fifth album. Killeen’s strong lyrics and producer Ken Coomer’s intelligent drumming makes this album ring with Americana sensibilities. The album explores topics of lost loves while celebrating current ones. Having drummed for indie rock bands Wilco and Uncle Tupelo, Coomer adds urgency and longing to the percussive elements. Recorded in Nashville, the CD and vinyl album are available for sale here and at Mike Killeen’s website.
Killeen has always had a way with words, crafting them to subtly tease out the flavor in each lyric like a brewmaster making a great microbrew. His straightforward melodies softly stroke the lyrics without dominating them. The album features nine songs that range from the glass rattling rock of “Total Nonsense and Drunk” to the tear inducing, heartfelt “Decatur Cemetery.”

The album and its namesake Bronson are touted by reviewers as having a “Dylan-like edge that the master himself might even have considered” (countrystandardtime.com), “one of the best releases this year” (glidemagazine.com), “Bronson may just be one of the finest singer/songwriter artists since Bob Dylan”

by the EuroAmericana Charts, the album has been rated the #1 album of
the year by ctlaltcountry.com and made Blurt’s Lee Zimmerman’s Top Ten of 2014, among many other rankings and reviews.
The album was tracked entirely analog in Nashville by acclaimed producer Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, Anderson East). “The whole project, produced by Americana superstar recordist Dave Cobb is wonderful” (musiccittyroots.com). Eliot Bronson is a vibey, ten-song album with an uncluttered production aesthetic that highlights Bronson’s songwriting and his achingly beautiful vocals. “It’s an album that trades on both the simplicity of its nine-song the live approach Bronson and (Dave) Cobb took to recording” (bluegrass situation.com).
“It was quite a pleasure working with Eliot,” says Cobb. “He’s a
brilliant lyricist and poet. We did the record live all together and the
album feels timeless.”
