5.0 out of 5 stars Another great musician gone before his time, July 13, 2000

I could not help but love this man's work it was so inspiring and greatly suprised me. His work was phenomenal and he sure was made to be a superstar. For those who did not ever hear Mike Hartman listen and enjoy for this was to be his last work. Mike Hartman passed away July 6 00 from a long battle with cystic vibrosis, but I know that he is in a better place and God loves what he hears.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, June 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Black Glue (Audio CD)

This is one of the few solo guitarist works that you don't have to be a guitar player to appreciate. Michael Hartman blends his influences from Satriani, Vai and Van Halen - to name a few - with terrific creativity and a broad display of musical ranges. In fact, there seems to be a different style for each track, creating clear demarcations between tracks. It will be a long time before this CD leaves my car.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hartman was literally born to be a guitar hero!, August 5, 2004

From the opening bars of the title track what's clear is the rare sincerity of this guitarist's playing. The way his talent triumphed over his illness comes as an inspirational addition to great melodies and incredible technique. Out of the aucoustic numbers 'Song for Jeanie' is the most special, evoking a kind of rural American idyll, complete in itself and a fitting eulogy. 'Feel my pain' uses wah to emphasize H's already storytelling vibrato and the solo shows a Bettencourt influence that is truly magical! Most special is the way the album moves away from sentimentality in the last numbers, with 'Insanity's' riff-packed jamming. It's true - in heaven there's a club called 'Black Glue' and Michael Hartman's still making music, and he's inspired and he's not scared.
