“I have rarely been so delighted by a record,…. utterly consistent and compelling… there is something immeasurably more human and musically nuanced about Perlowin’s steel guitar work. The range of expression the instrument can produce is simply breathtaking. ”

“…absolutely brilliant. I don’t listen to a lot of stuff. I usually get a CD, play it, and put it in the collection. It is the rare CD that I will listen to over and over. But I have Mike's CD just lying out… I play it a lot because I enjoy listening to it. Get it! you’ll love it. ”
