Fantastic, unique, breath of fresh air!
This CD has been in my player for over a month and I have to say it just makes me feel happy all over. It's a breath of fresh air to hear someone who's not trying to jump into the wannabe crowd--Mike Breen is a man in his own musical world, and not afraid to do his own thing here. Do I hear movie scores or WHAT!?

great bender playing, enjoyed very much
great b-bender playing, really enjoyed sleepwalk and apache, as well as beautiful playing on the accoustic numbers.

Great listening
This CD showcases Mike Breen's skills as a multi-instrumentalist, but especially as a guitarist. He nicely illustrates the contributions in a variety of styles that a B bender can make to the voice of the electric guitar and the person who plays it. And all this in a CD that is very listenable and not just a technical tour de force. Breen's taste and creativity shine through on a number of levels.

It caused me to buy a B Bender Telecaster
Honky Tonk #22 is what it's all about,a simple tune that gets you where you feel it most.Ridin'The Fence is the fun tune on the album,while flavours of Jerry Donahue and Johnny Hiland are also in the recipe, of this very tasty collection of B Bender instrumentals.

Get this CD and it will restore your faith in music!
After many years of playing, recording and being involved in all things guitar, it is hard to impress me. I can honestly say that this CD REALLY impressed me. This is the real stuff - music played without compromise. Recorded beautifully. Every nuance is clear to your ears. If you are into great guitar playing and want to have a party for your ears, check out Mr. Breen. The B-bender guitar gives an amazing blend of traditional and slide/steel playing that mixes and blurrs the edges of county, rock and blues. WOW!

Great CD, Musicians take note!
OK, here is a guy that can play and takes the B-Bender guitar beyond what you would traditonally expect. This is a great collection and shows that Mike Breen can play and not only B-Bender guitar but, mandolin, flat top, banjo. If your into great guitar...get this CD!

A few reviews over the years...

 His vocal delivery is warm and inviting. His story lines are conversations about life and observations on its living moments. “Baby’s Comin’ in on a Plane” lets you feel the excitement of the guy at the gate whose heart beats a little faster with each departing passenger, “Cristina Valencia” slips south of the border to plead to the lady in the title for a little love light from her dark eyes and “Carnival Queen” walks the midway with love at your side."  -Alternate Root Magazine.
"It's always a pleasure to hear an independant CD that delivers the goods past the first cut and this release from Breen is such an example."   Sing Out Magazine
"A consistent quality rolls right through the third solo album and instro debut from singer-songwriter Mike Breen. On Mescal Mary & Other B Bender Guitar Instrumentals, Breen performs masterfully on the B and G bender guitar, a guitar device invented by one time Byrds guitarists Clarence White and Gene Parsons to resemble the sounds of the pedal steel guitar. Breen mixes his tasty electric work with his added banjo, mandolin and flatpicking guitar sounds."  " 20th Century Guitar by Robert Siverstein
"I wish all singer-songwriter albums were this rewarding."  Dirty Linen
"
​Mike Breen may be an unfamiliar name but his songs have that warm. lived in quality that lodge themselves firmly within the subconscious..." John O'Regan - Rock-N-Reel
One of..."the best of the real indies..." Carolyn Adams - WDIY-FM
