New music at last from Michael Lee Firkins

I've been a big fan of Michael Lee Firkins' guitar playing ever since his Shrapnel Records debut. Several weeks ago I read an old interview with Firkins where he said he wasn't interested in performing instrumental music any longer.

That's about the last thing I wanted to hear from him, since I listen to instrumental guitar music a whole bunch and Firkins fits comfortably in my top five favorites for the last 15 years or so.

So, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Firkins has a new (and mostly instrumental) recording coming out on the Magna Carta label--the same one responsible for the Steve Morse "Major Impacts" disks.

Drop by and have a listen to some incredible chops and tasty tone. Better yet, buy it.
