This is an absolute "must-have" for anyone who appreciates tasteful acoustic songs and guitar instrumentals. Mike Dowling is an absolute master in the genres of swing, blues, and traditional american roots songs. This is the sweetest CD that I've bought this year, and I buy lots of albums!! The album is very diverse - from velvety bottleneck slide playing, to punchy rags, to latin rythym, with relaxed and soulful singing. Give yourself a gift of this album.

I've been to Mike Dowling's show only once in Tokyo. His music is always exciting and heeling. I prefer a real acoustic music and Mike's music is a real one. the sound of his guitars coming from his CDs is always natural. All the tunes in Blue Fandango are really my favorites. Good old American music I've been fond of since I was a small kid.

I have every recording Mike has ever done and Blue Fandango ranks up there as one of my favorites. Along the lines of his "Swamp Dog Blues" album, this one is a great mix of songs and instrumentals that never ceases to inspire and move me. Silky smooth vocals and top shelf guitar playing.

This is a great album. I fully agree with the other review. If your taste is solo acoustic swing/blues guitar, this cd definitely a must have. This guy can play!
