Michael Jon Hartman has been writing and performing music for over 20 years. His passion for music is evident in the songs that have materialized. He has devoted his time to becoming very apt at many instruments! All of the instrumentation and vocals on his albums are done by him, with an occasional guest appearance of other great musicians in his same league. He has an addictive way of producing the material as well, from the smooth sounds of "Sister Jean", to the raw and edgy "The Third Disguise", his approach is unique and in a class of its own. Hartman has gone way over the top with this latest collection of new 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. "The new release, "A Different Kind Of Normal" is a fabulous collection of songs. The album has beautiful ballads, the quirky "It‘s Cool" is fun, and the "One Sided Love" is an interesting departure! An eclectic compilation of great songs that lead you down a somewhat twisted path. 13 songs that will entertain, and stick in your brain! Over all, a great listen!! You'll be hooked on Michael and these new songs for a long time!" Derek Miaway - New Times
