Michael Brewer & Tom Shipley are truly two who work as one Their trademark harmonies, intertwined acoustic guitars, and socially-conscious lyrics carved a unique niche in America's soundboard in the 1970s.

Their Top 10 hit "One Toke Over The Line" was largely responsible for introducing Brewer & Shipley to the masses, yet their music careers neither began nor ended with this one song.  Said Michael Brewer, "We were never about singles. Every song on our albums was just as important as the next one.  All of our albums, we meant to be whole packages." 
Former member of The Dillards, Mitch Jayne observed, "Album buyers understood that these men were designers, not pop music freaks, and as prolific as they were, they didn't write songs to any formula.  Each album, from Down In L.A. to Heartland, was a meticulously woven tapestry of fabric they had invented one song at a time."
