REVIEW FROM DIRTY LINEN MAGAZINE, Aug/Sept 2003:
Dorian Michael's What You Get for Your Trouble solo guitar recording shows much taste and skill with selections ranging from self-composed selections to blues (with some nice resophonic guitar work) and traditional. Michael has a nice touch, uses space effectively, and writes appealing melodies. This is a good companion recording to his work with Blackwell and illustrates another side to his music.

Review from San Luis Obispo New Times:
Fans of acoustic guitar music will want to pick up a copy of Dorian Michael's 'The Way We Dance,' a collection of a dozen original compositions. Featuring mostly blues and folk, 'The Way We Dance' is a clear demonstration of Michael's fingerstyle guitar skills. The instrumental tunes are richly arranged, and like many great solo guitarists, Michael makes it sound like there's more than one guitar at work. My favorite track, 'Cardinal Rule,' is a slide guitar number that's simply transporting. This is a must-have for acoustic music fans.

"...infectious music" with "...a thrilling intensity to the performance ...short of smelling the beer and the sweat it was just like being at the session." |

Here is an energetic live concert cd of Kenny Blackwell / Dorian Michael with percussion and bass and a great variety of acoustic music; old-timey to blues to celtic to latin, there is really something for everyone played with on-the-money musicianship.

For those who know Dorian's music as only acoustic fingerstyle guitar, this will be a real change of pace. The Dorian Michael Blues Ensemble cd is a collection of electric instrumental blues music played by an 11-piece group of superlative musicians led by guitarist Dorian Michael. The orchestration, arrangements, the fabulous improvisational abilities of the individual musicians, and the energized cohesion of the rhythm section make this a cd that is unique among recent blues releases. There is a wide variety of rhythm, texture and mood that keeps this cd interesting, deeply musical and hip-shakin' all at the same time.
