“… NAIVE is the fourth album by the Austin-based five piece. … many fans of the band
don’t even wait to hear their new releases anymore before ordering one, you know you
are going to get some good stuff. … If you want a no-brainer pick for a new Americana
disc, this is a good pick!”

“Micky and the Motorcars have recorded a focused, well-paced album full of heartache,
reminiscing and electric guitars. NAIVE finds the quintet rocking within a contained fashion
[but with a] hard-edged barroom feel …”
— JamBase.com
“… Micky & The Motorcars … prove that country-rock is alive and well. … This is
definitely a keeper.”
— Country Music Facts & News
“The spirit of good friends and collaborations suffuse the album. … The entire album is
thoughtfully arranged, without a single jarring note. NAIVE fits like a comfortable pair
of boots: versatile, durable and ready for dancing at the end of a long day.”

“This disc from Micky and the Motorcars is a terrific follow-up … showcasing their
powerhouse playing and sharp lyrical skill. …”
— about.com
“Their greatest strengths include Micky’s voice, pitch-perfect but suitably rough-andtwangy
for the hard-livin’ material, and the ability to balance out their radio-friendly
numbers … with some subtler curve balls. ‘Don’t Be Sad,’ for one, shows that the guys
aren’t too tough to waltz. Thrown in for good measure: a cover of idiosyncratic Austin
songwriter Jon Dee Graham’s defiant ‘Twilight,’ proving that the band’s influences
aren’t limited to any mainstream, Nashville or otherwise.”
— Texas Music e-zine
“NAIVE is warrior music. It’s music you listen to before going into battle.”
— John Shelton Ivany Top 21
“A polished, incredible record, the time and effort lent to this trip to the studio does not
go unnoticed. … the finished record is one of the best that will emerge this year. … good
rock ’n’ roll with a very controlled edge continues throughout the album. … Listening to
the record, you’ll hear a band at the very height of its game … NAIVE … is a record that
will keep spinning around long after that first listen.”
— www.TexasMusicTimes.com
“… what sets Micky and the Motorcars apart … is that Micky is a more tenderhearted
kind of country-rock singer, as evidenced by the originals ‘Grow Old’ and ‘Seeds’.”
—Austin American-Statesman
“Even when they’re rocking, the band’s got an occasional knack for some introspective,
heavy thoughts. … [A] headstrong sense of lyrical twists and genuine emotion is what
separates Micky and the Motorcars from similar-sounding peers. And on songs like
‘Split,’ they rock right on with some crowd-pleasing, guitar-whipped words: ‘Come on,
girl, let’s get out of here.’ Funny thing is, that line would probably work. …”
