"Cactus Cruz" is another Michael Lee Firkins' instrumental masterpiece which displays his inimitable faux slide guitar solos over compositions that range from rock to bluegrass to jazz swing, combining to create a cohesive album that all guitar fans should own. Firkins even throws in a surprise - a cover of Quincy Jones' theme song from the TV series, "Sanford & Son" - that the guitarist makes his own, with wah wah growls and his signature wail. Firkins' original compositions on "Cactus Cruz" are tuneful, up-tempo numbers that showcase his formidable six-string talents; highlights include "Freeway Lines", "Saturday Night" and "Midnight Surf".

Michael Lee Firkins - Decomposition

Artist: Michael Lee Firkins
Album: Decomposition
Year: 1999
Genre:  Guitar Virtuoso, Guitar Instrumental, Blues Rock
Format: 256 kbps mp3
Tracklist:
1. Still alive and well (3:40)
2. Manic depression (4:33)
3. I need you (6:48)
4. Pink Panther (4:42)
5. I know a little (3:36)
6. The window (4:21)
7. Little wing (5:42)
8. Pick up the pieces (3:40)
9. Caravan (4:46)

    Michael Lee Firkins, genuine guitar monster from America's heartland, returns with Decomposition, a tribute to many of Firkins' favorite bands and players. The CD opens with a ripping vocal cover of Rick Derringer's "Still Alive And Well" and then never lets up. "I Need You" and "I Know A Little" are covers of some of Lynyrd Skynyrd's classic live material, while Firkins applies his trademark style to instrumental versions of Jimi Hendrix' "Manic Depression" and "Little Wing". Add to that a couple of instrumentals by Henri Mancini ("Pink Panther") and Duke Ellington ("Caravan"), and a Michael Lee Firkins original ("The Window") and you've got a damn fine album from a true guitarist whose time to wail in the sun has arrived.

Michael Lee Firkins - Blacklight Sonatas

Artist: Michael Lee Firkins
Album:  Blacklight Sonatas
Year: 2007
Genre:  Guitar Virtuoso, Guitar Instrumental, Blues Rock
Format: 320 kbps mp3
Tracklist:
1. One Big Punch (Crying Stacks) (5:41)
2. Two Guns Left (6:02)
3. Black Betty (4:08)
4. I-680 Waltz (5:19)
5. The Horse And The Fly (3:05)

7. Theme From Sanford And Son (The Streetbeater) (6:23)
8. Took The Words Right Outta My Mouth (4:57)
9. Blacklight Sonata (6:59)
    The great webzine Metal Temple writes about Michael Lee Firkins' 2007 "Blacklight Sonatas" CD, "It's an instrumental album with a lot of blues guitar and a cover of Ram Jam's "Black Betty", with Michael Lee Firkins testing his vocal abilities once more. This is the only dark moment in "Blacklight Sonatas" that mainly has some nice blues vibe, a lot of good guitar moments and nice mixing work in the studio. The stereo panning of the guitars is a little bit hard, with two guitars shredding at the same time at your left and right speaker with the rhythm section in the middle. The best moment is the album's title track; a sad guitar is bleeding with a bottleneck sliding to a classical music scale and a brokenhearted almost mournful melody with a glimpse of light inside. A nice compilation of blues, country riffs and solos and with a nice selection of musicians that wade in, like Thomas Pridgen, Chuck Leavell, Michael Bland and more, "Blacklight Sonatas" is the perfect listening exercise for guitarists that want to play the music that Michael Lee Firkins knows very well."
