Devil Played The Harp

from Why A Woman Gets The Blues by Mike Garner

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    2011
    A collection of mostly original songs ranging across a variety of styles. Features guest appearances by Richard Anaru on guitar and Liam Ryan on keyboards. Mastered by Mike Gibson at Munki Studios, Wellington, New Zealand

    "Why A Woman Gets The Blues" shows that Mike Garner is a very talented musician. It is a collection of songs, all played with aplomb, regardless of whether delivered solo (guitar/harp) or with the band. The UK's loss has definitely been NZ's gain! Rating 8.

    • Gordon Baxter, Blues in Britain

    Garner is playing mostly solo on this CD, and is wonderfully supported by guest musicians, such as Liam Ryan on the piano, as demonstrated on title song, a sublime interweaving of tango rhythm and Mike's slide guitar. The man's talents may be fully heard on the closing instrumental "Elegiac Blues'. Resonator, banjo, mandolin and slide are all there in this fine slow blues. This is an inviting album that will surely make you look forward to hearing more work by the man. Mike Garner is a fascinating artist that you absolutely must discover.

    • Blusyluc, Rootstime, Belgium

    A very tasty cover of the Jagger/Richards classic 'Honky Tonk Women' is so far removed from the original to be almost a new song but of course balanced with those oh so familiar lyrics making this a highlight on an already fine body of work. So apparently this is album number six from Mike enjoy this and go search out the others via the Internet.
