For more than ten years MICKY & THE MOTORCARS have been winning over audiences in and outside of Texas with their powerful, timeless red dirt/country rock. They started out with a little less hype than their brothers in Reckless Kelly but steadily building a following and a reputation! Raise My Glass is the quintet's 6th album and the follow-up to their 2009 debut on Blue Rose, Naïve, their most successful album to date.

Micky & The Motorcars are part of the influential Braun clan that originates from Idaho and has settled down near Austin, TX. The older brothers Willy & Cody are in Reckless Kelly, Micky & Gary Braun's band has more of a down-home sound, passionately focusing a quintessentially Texan brand of country rock. They're a typical live band playing more than a hundred shows a year. The only time they ever take a time-out from the road is when they've gathered enough material to go into the studio again. No wonder the results sound pure and direct, live and uncluttered - and Raise My Glass is no exception. 11 new songs in a Texas-style, conventional production helmed by Bukka Allen (son of the great Terry Allen) and Brian Standefer, two experienced session musicians who've worked with Alejandro Escovedo, Owen Temple, Po' Girl, the Flatlanders and Ryan Bingham, among others.
