Michael's guitar playing is extraordinary. His tunes are lyrical-the
stuff fairy tales are made of. They are slightly jazzy, seductively
smooth and consistently beautiful. Deborah
Ensor, The Taos News
The first time I saw Michael Mandrell playing live, I thought, "How
does he do that?" It sounded for all the world as if there were two or
three instruments besides his guitar, but it was just Michael. And the
melodies just carried you away. Marilyn
Rea Beyer, Music Director and
Host of Acoustic Images, 91.9 FM (WUMB-FM) Boston, MA
Michael Mandrell's music is peaceful, melodic, and sophisticated, the
kind of music I love to listen to. His tape is on "permanent rotation"
in our home. Eliza
Gilkyson
He is the most versatile guitar player I've ever encountered and he
deserves great success. I have seen him play his unique blend of jazz,
folk and classic for hardcore country audiences...what else can I say?
Michael Martin Murphey
Michael's blend of Celtic, jazz and New Age music will show you just
what a six and twelve string guitar can do in the hands of a real
master of the craft. Jenny
Bird
The music he makes is a wholly instrumental mélange that
draws its
inspiration from any number of disciplines. Folk, Classical, Celtic and
New Age elements all find their way into this eclectic contemporary
mix. David Prince, The
Santa Fe New Mexican
Michael Mandrell plays guitar on Jenny Bird's
"Eternal Flight" and Angel's Gift", Eliza Gilkyson's "Through the
Looking Glass" and "Taos - The Deepening Edge."
