Matney’s “All Fired Up” ignites the airwaves with the blazing energy of classic Southern rock, delivering a powerhouse performance. Produced by the multi-platinum producer Stevie Salas, who also lends his talents to lead guitar and co-writing duties.
American underground metal artist Mike Matney sought out multi-platinum producer/artist Stevie Salas to turn out ‘The Red Neck & The Redman’. Mike Matney chatted to us about the new record, songwriting and more:
"All Fired Up rolls out on down-and-dirty, refluxing guitars atop a throbbing rhythm as Michael’s Billy Gibbons-like vocals imbue the lyrics with deliciously nasty raspiness. Tumescent with wicked, irresistible energy, the tune reveals an imminent, electrifying mood."
