Synopsis

Album Description

Sounding like a dozen lost Stephen Foster tunes , Dowlings playing and composing runs the gambit from slide tunes which evoke trips down the Mississippi to the energetic Johnson City Rag.
 

CD Reviews

Mike is a great finger style artist

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I resently puchased bottom lands and am injoying it very much . the only reason i did't give it a 5 star rateing ,i was hopeing for more slide guitar,but mike does not disappoint in his finger style approch to guitar. He is not just imatateing old stlyeings , he brings his own very personal and melodic ideas to the blues and beyond.really good stuff! john e."
Outstanding

"Extrordinarily evocative solo dobro slide. Some of the pieces always make me laugh, and one always brings me a bittersweet feeling, without recalling any specific event."
