"An album of strong and thoughtful tunes played with a delicate touch and I'd recommend it to any fans of the recent Clapton and Cale collaboration."
Nick Bollinger, The Sampler, Radio NZ, 2007

" … a superb album complete with good songs. "Have You Ever Loved A Woman" from Billy Myles on acoustic as well as washboard and mandolin is a fantastic performance. Blues fans will continue to enjoy Cad's Alley's very interesting tunes."
Salvatore Esposito, Il Popolo de Blues, June 2007

"Mike Garner is a superb vocalist and multi-instrumentalis. This is a very well-rounded, warm and enjoyable romp from the get-go, with the pace not slowing one iota. Recommended buying for all blues enthusiasts around the country"
Peter Dent, NZ Musician Vol 13, June/July 2007

"Cad's Alley is a very assured blues album, combining fine intelligent songs with well-planned and executed arrangements. It showcases the effortless authenticity of Mike's voice and the range and skill of his guitar playing."
Weekend Sun, March 2007

"This CD is very imaginative, entertaining, and well-done. It could hold one's interest through many playings. It is a good representation of Mike Garner's many talents."
Maria Bainer, May 2007
