Mike Guldin and Rollin' & Tumblin'

Mike Guldin describes himself as a ‘journeyman of the blues’, but that is not a negative, as he demonstrates his abilities as singer, songwriter and musician, ably supported by the other musicians on the album.

-John Mitchell, Blues Blast

While I Can is a splendid combination of whip-smart songwriting by Mike Guldin and musical vitality that creates this thoroughly enjoyable session.  Guldin is indeed doing it while he can. Let’s hope that he does it again.

-Jim White, Blues Roadhouse

On “While I Can,” veteran guitarist and singer-songwriter Mike Guldin delivers a record grounded in lived experience—weathered love, quiet doubt, and the hope that lingers between the lines. This is not an album chasing trends; it’s an album chasing meaning. Throughout the record, Guldin returns to a central theme: say and do what matters before it’s too late. Love while you can. Repair what you can. Sing while you can.  There is no pretense here—just real stories told plainly. The kind of songs that grow stronger with every listen. This is the best I’ve ever heard from Mike Guldin.

-Richard Ludmerer, Making A Scene

…this album spans a wide gamut of blues styles, blending Chicago, Southern, Gospel and Country Blues and seasoned with some Rock’n’roll and Honky-Tonk to cook up a feast of good-time rockin’ blues.

-Paul Dubbelman, Blues Matters

Mike Guldin puts everything that makes him so powerful into it: true stories, solid melodies, a voice that blends grit and vulnerability, and that sense of the blues that isn't learned from books but on the road, through the experience of life. A touching album that says what many think without always knowing how to formulate it, that says we must love, speak, live… as long as we can!
