Masterful, versatile guitarist and singer songwriter Mike Dowling is truly a player's player. Dowling's new CD release was recorded with a band of Nashville pickers including Mark Schatz on bass and fiddling great Vassar Clements. Bluegrass Unlimited, while issuing a disclaimer that "Beats Workin'" surely isn't bluegrass... "It's not even close, except that it swings, it's jazzy, it's bluesy, it jumps, strides and rags and it reaches right out and grabs you..." pronounced the album a 'pure delight'. When you've experienced this lively mix of Dowling originals and country blues and swing classics, you will too.
