"Everybody Loves Me" has got to be one of your best songs to date Mike. Brilliant lyrics, and so much going on musically, including a double tracked harp solo! The pace of maturity in your songwriting is amazing. Using your music as a vehicle of social commentary is the sign of a Mature Songwriter that understands how music can and does bring back the memories and feelings of how history has effected our lives, and how easy a simple saying or line can enter into our common vernacular culture. Well Done Michael, Well Done...

“Hey Michael, I'm back for another helping - damn that's good music. Your writing is razor sharp, and I especially dig the arrangements, unique but very clean with lots of room to let the pieces breathe.”

— Tom Balek, Reverb Nation Artist

“Took a long time to listen to all these tunes, but worth it. The production & arrangements are great, but what stands out for me more than anything is the strong melodies & lyrics. Very good song writing!”

— Richard Flinders, Reverb Nation Artist

“Hey Michael, I'm enjoying listening to your songs! Your vocals are conjuring images of Bryan Ferry and Robert Palmer, for me. My compliments on your style. Greetings from Canada. I'm happy to be a fan. Keep in touch! Bing”

— Bingham Willoughby, Reverb Nation Artist

“The new release, "Less Fat...More Taste" on itunes is a fabulous collection of songs. The album has a more bluesy feel than "Zen in my Head", as well as more ballads. The quirky "Mind Over Matter", and "Yeah, No" are fun , interesting departures! Over all, a great listen!! You'll be hooked on these songs for a long time!”

— Derek Miaway, New Times

"Hartman's first album entitled 'Zen in my Head' is now available on itunes! An eclectic compilation of great songs that lead you down a somewhat twisted path. 13 songs that will entertain, and stick in your brain! Two thumbs up!!"

— Mike Hunt, New Times

"Hartman and the Appendages have gone way over the top with this collection of songs. The diversity of music is staggering! From blues, to rock, to country, to something I can't really describe. Lyrically, the songs have strong intent as well as humor. I strongly suggest getting all this material on the ipod nearest you!!" Del Griffith, New Times
