10. Love Me All The Time (4:07)
11. Got Your Letter (4:47)
12. Swingin' The M & M (4:18)

Mike Goudreau launches his 16th album, "T.G.I.F." (Thank God It's Friday), comprising 12 new compositions from the Eastern Townships blues and jazzman. For the occasion, Goudreau sings, plays bass, guitars and 6-string banjo, as well as being the composer and writer on all 12 tracks. He's accompanied by long-time cronies, brilliant saxophonist Dany Roy (Garou, Bet.e and Stef, Susie Arioli), Maxime St Pierre on trumpet (Michel Cusson, Alain Caron, Pagliaro ), Serge Arsenault on trombone, Stéphane Jetté on drums and the fleet-fingered Nino Fabi on keyboards.

For "T.G.I.F.", Goudreau pulls out all the stops with an eclectic mix of styles and grooves on this album. The title track "T.G.I.F'' is a dynamic jump blues, a signature style that has set Goudreau apart from many of his peers with that contagious swing that he's become so well known for these past 20 years! Other surprises are blues rock songs "Ain't No Guitar Hero", "Don't Get Close To You", influenced by the music of Stevie Ray Vaughn, Robben Ford and Eric Clapton. We find other influences such as Dixieland jazz on "Jack's Place", country blues on "I Got Your Letter", jazz on the instrumentals "Swingin' The M and M" and "Blue Note Shuffle", a touch of gospel on "Give Me Faith" and funk on "Chillin' The Funk", all of which showcase that Goudreau remains much more than a one-trick pony.

Recorded and mixed in his hometown of Stanstead at Studio Bleuciel, and mastered at Sage Audio in Nashville, Tennessee, this recording sounds like a big blues production from the USA, which is a great testimony of how Mike's production skills have blossomed over the past 20 years. That's another reason why Goudreau's music has been heard on dozens of US network TV and films as well as web commercials and Youtube videos, something not many other Canadian blues artists/writers have achieved. Yet despite these successes, he still remains one of Canada's best kept blues and jazz secrets.

Mike Goudreau presents his 15th album, "Time For Messin' Around", comprising 11 songs with 8 new compositions and 3 covers from the Eastern Townships blues and jazzman. Says Goudreau: "We've got something here that might surprise blues fans old and new!" For the occasion, Goudreau is accompanied by long-time cronies Jonathan-Guillaume Boudreau on bass, Jean-François Bégin on drums, and the saxophonist David Élias on one song. Also appearing as special guest is Pascal "Per'' Veillette, a very unique and talented harmonicist who brings a particular exotic flair with his participation on two songs.

For "Time For Messin' Around", Goudreau goes back to the "roots'' approach as he did on his 2006 album "The Grass Ain't Greener".The instrumentation is stripped down to the basic guitar, bass and drums on most tracks for a grittier sound, and most of the basic tracks were recorded live in the studio. This is a "party" vibe album, with the first track that sets the tone immediately, right on to the last one. A few funk rhythms, Texas shuffle, country blues, blues rock, Southern rock vibes that'll make you want to dance your blues away! Also a sizzling authentic and soulful slow blues sung "en Français", which has been one of Mike's trademarks for the past 20 years and counting.
