A month or so after he finished recording the [Felt](1971) album, Myke was busted with a ounce of pot in his pocket. Being 17 years old and in the state of Alabama in 1970 that got him 6 months in the state reform school.
When Myke got out he was going in a different direction philosophically and decided to pursue a career in Christian music, effectively dissolving Felt. Myke gave me (Tommy Gilstrap) a call out of the blue in 1978 from Nashville asking me to join his new group. He had just been signed to Free Flight, RCA's new Nashville "rock" label. His new album was almost finished but I got there in time to play on 3 tracks. The album was titled "Mychael" and was produced by Cliff Williamson and Mychael for Tree Productions. Not a big deal, but the LP was actually entitled "Neon Dreams" and RCA executives apparently decided that Myke wasn't exotic enough so the LP was released credited to 'Mychael'. Those same executives also seem to have decided that Jackson needed to abandon his Alabama rock roots in favor of a more upscale pseudo-glam look. Great Strong Aor Album!
