Michael Sweet Interview

got a phone call from a guy by the name of Kenny Louis, who just felt led to call me, and offer his services to do the record.

Dano: Wow

Michael: He has a digital studio, he's a drummer, he called me and he's a believer, and he said “I just feel led, like God told me to call you and offer my services to you for nothing”. And I went up to his studio and we started recording TRUTH, recorded that. Spent a little over four months recording it, and then put it out.

Dano: Wow…that is so cool. Well, is the final release been… Ya know, Has Restless given out an official release date for it?

Michael: Well what happened with that is whole other story in itself, (laughs) there’s so much going on.

Dano: There's one version out there, Cause I hear “Blue Bleeds Through” on ChristianRock.net

Michael: That is the one that I put out. Ya know, That's the original version of  TRUTH, it's a ten song CD, that I put out about a year and half ago, almost a year and half ago. I've been selling it to a few chains in bulk order, mail order companies, and then online over the web site.

Dano: Yeah...I seen that there. Michael: And from doing that and people hearing it, and thank God it turned out to be ya know, I feel the best record I've been able to do as a solo artist. I really think that God anointed the record and gave me the songs and ya know made it happen. And because of that, a lot of people heard it and liked what they heard and it got some really good reviews over seas and here in the states. And it created a little bit of a buzz, ya know Dano: Uh huh.

Michael: So…I got some interest from a couple companies, and one of those companies was Restless Records. And I wound up flying out and meeting with the people and hanging out with them and just felt that's where I was suppose to be and they felt that was where I suppose to be as well. So…signed a recording contract with them and went into the studio right away and started to re- record TRUTH.
