Mike Hammer Fans Rejoice

"For fans of the old Mickey Spillane books, here is Mike Hammer personified by the unflappable Stacy Keach. Back in the days when men were real men and women were all good looking and ready to jump Mike's bones, Hammer moves through the city like drain-o through a clogged pipe, clearing out the gunky bad guys. Yeah, I know, this applies to all of the Mike Hammer TV series and made for TV movies, but what can I say? I love the guy. For those of you tired of the My Special Effects Are Better Than Your Special Effects one-upmanship of todays senselessly violent mindless entertainment, check out the Good Old Days of a series that aged well. Thumbs up."

Blues-music love and murder

"Writer Mickey Spillane brought forth an ex-military, private detective who is tough,

charming, morally upright, yet possessed with an insatiable desire to throttle thugs,

capture crooks, and aid ladies in distress.

What new can one write about Stacy Keach's perfectly-portrayed Mike Hammer?

Do you enjoy listening to blues music and enjoy Mike's tough tactics with two-bit thugs?

Then 'Songbird' is for you."
