CD REVIEWS :
"Michael Guthrie's CD "Conscious Collective" is a stellar collection of real musicianship. He delves into blues, folk and rock and makes the listener think. This is what creative 
music is all about."
Joe Kelley, WVOF 88.5 fm "The Upper Room with Joe Kelley"

"On Conscious Collective, Seattle's Michael Guthrie provides us with more than just an eclectic mix of folk, blues and jazz.  Whether commenting on US foreign policy, as in 
Military Coup, or talking about relationships as in Love Me Like a Friend, Guthrie's passion for his fellow man shines through.  His guitar playing is superb throughout. He can 
switch from one guitar style to another with little effort.  Check out the jazzy stylings of Bloom'n and the steel sounds on Look'n at the World. Michael Guthrie has produced a 
CD that is both entertaining and thought provoking. I'm glad somebody is still doing that".
