Mike Garner is a prominent New Zealand blues musician, having worked with Doug McLeod and Jo Ann Kelley. “40 Below Blues” is Garner’s first CD since 2011’s “Why A Woman Gets The Blues”. The new album sees a return to his first influences, the old time country blues that drew him into the music. It’s largely a solo acoustic album with two guests. Locating a love of the blues genre 40 degrees below the equator makes a statement that blues music connects with all cultures, however geographically distant from its origins in the southern states of the USA. “40 Below Blues” is an album of strong and thoughtful tunes played with a delicate touch. Mike’s songwriting rates at the top and these tunes will tempt you.

Maybe not suggested by the title, but this 11-track CD is a real pleasure. Rotorua-based blues guitarist and song-writer Garner, has previously taken third place in Nashville's International Songwriting Competition and can claim other musical achievements too. "Why A Woman Gets The Blues" is his sixth official release since 1999, and it's a tasteful, professional and well-presented set of (mostly) bluesy originals. The songs are thoughtfully varied and colored with different styles throughout the album. In addition, the rhythm section's arrangements and production tones are pretty much perfect making this CD a keeper.
