Valentine St.

Michael Hicks. You recognize the name: a life devoted to books, articles, poems, essays, and serious compositions. Now there's another side to Michael Hicks: The singer, the songwriter. Songs from Valentine St. Songs about love and life. Songs from the heart. From his capacity-crowd BYU recital 'Personal Effects.'

As a singer/songwriter Michael Hicks is totally contemporary, yet his poetic images will remind you of Cole Porter or Noel Coward. — Kim Simpson, Austin Texas
