  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Limited Edition Black Heavy Weight (180g) Vinyl LP of Mike Kuster’s debut studio album, “Better Late Than Never” represents “Great Traditional Country the way it should be done!” Mike shares his passion for Country Music with song writing and music that is honest, open, and Country to the core," according to Saving Country Music. The album has bee named one of 2022's Essential Albums by SavingCountryMusic.com, one of the 15 "Must Have Albums of 2022" by The Balcony Show, and Country Music France's Top 20 Album of 2022. "To sing country, you have to live country, and that’s what makes the music of Mike Kuster so much more meaningful. It comes with that real life, lived-in and loved aspect that you just don’t get from the antiseptic and formulaic notions of big radio singles. These are songs cut straight from life, yet give up nothing when it comes to quality and instrumentation compared to major label releases. It’s the personal and true-to-life stories that Mike Kuster puts to song that make Better Late Than Never much more than just a local project from a local singer, even if it’s the local flavor of the songs that make them so resonant, sincere, and so distinctly country like country music is supposed to be. That is why local country artist Mike Kuster deserves national and international attention." - SavingCountryMusic.com

about

"They say a friend will bail you out, Best friend would be in jail with you, but you'd be home in bed if you just had a friend with benefits!"

lyrics

I was sittin’ in the cell, feelin’ like hell
Cause I got caught tryin’ to fill a need
Well I ain’t bad looking, My bank account ain’t lackin’
But the ladies I can’t seem to keep
I’ve tried the gals at church, I’ve tried the bar hook-ups
But nothing seems to work
Then I heard about a thing
That seems to be a cure
For my troubles and my woes
They call it Friends with Benefits
Friends help your needs get met
They say a friend will bail you out
Best friend would be in jail with you
But you’d be home in bed
if you had a friend with benefits
I’ve got a lot of friends who are all fine women
But they won’t understand what I’ve done
The Internet is great, I can pull my own weight
But nothing beats a real woman
So, I’m looking for a friend who enjoys a little more
Than drinks every now and then
I need a Friend with benefits
We’ll help our needs get met
I need a friend with benefits
Yeah Friends with Benefits
Friends help your needs get met
They say a friend will bail you out
Best friend would be in jail with you
But you’d be home in bed
If you had a friend with benefits
Yeah Friends with Benefits
Friends help your needs get met
They say a friend will bail you out
Best friend would be in jail with you
But you’d be home in bed
If you had a friend with benefits
Friends with Benefits
Friends help your needs get met
They say a friend will bail you out
Best friend would be in jail with you
But I’d be home in bed
If I had a friend with benefits
All we need Friends with benefits!
Yee-Ha
