Press:
Michael Martin, plays with fire and fury with energy to spare. (Jim Beal Jr.,San Antonio Express-News)
Michael Martin has a gift for expression through his music, his lyrics paint a vivid portrait of Martin as a struggling artist. (Richard Skanse, San Antonio Current)
Michael Martin biggest asset is his songwriting ability. His lyrics have been associated with a few Bob Dylan periods, but his image and message are personal and unique. (David Goren, The Daily University Star)
Michael Martin vocals are speckled with mannerisms and quirks much like Dylan’s, though with a lofty range old Bob could never quite manage. (Hobart Rowland, Houston Press)
