Michael Lee Firkins
"Decomposition"
Nuerra Records

By: Paul Autry

Here's a CD that's worth looking into for those of you who are fans of guitar rock. Michael Lee Firkins puts his own mark on an interesting selection of eight different songs. "Little Wing" and "Manic Depression" by Jimi Hendrix, "Caravan" by Duke Ellington, "Still Alive And Well" by Rick Derringer and Henry Mancini's "Pink Panther," which was, in my opinion, the coolest track on the album. Three other songs and an original called "The Window" make up the rest of the album. I'm sure that this was a fun album for Michael to do....something that he wanted to do because of a fondness for the material. He gains pleasure from performing these songs and we, the audience, gain pleasure from listening to them and Nuerra Records gains pleasure by releasing the disc. So, everybody goes home a winner. I've heard a lot of guitar albums in my time and this one has quickly moved to the top of my list and, if you give it a listen, I'm sure it will become one of your favorites as well.
