Billboard Magazine

Musically confident and emotionally vulnerable. His lyrics are refreshing and pleasantly unusual.

Performing Songwriter

Rundman is an inspired power-pop dynamo.

5.0 out of 5 stars A is for Amazing, July 28, 2004
This review is from: Public Library (Audio CD)
This has been my soundtrack on the way to work for the past week: from the ode to Smart Girls to the toe-tapping rockabilly 747's to the lament Every town's the same -- every song is unique and well-written. Buy it and queue it up on repeat -- you won't be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Another Mass Produced Bubble Gum Pop Album, November 4, 2005
By 
Bridget Delaney "kagomeshuko" (Lake Charles, LA (Home of Neil Connelly)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Public Library (Audio CD)
In today's world of mass-produced bubble gum pop recordings, Jonathan Rundman shines out as the artist that he is. With simple elegance and wonderful music and wordplay, he can address the issues of every day life, rave about the importance of intellect in finding a mate, and address social and political issues that affect every single person in this world. His music and songs are original, tactiful, and very catchy. It's a great break from the normal mass-produced music that's heard almost every where today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Public Library is a Must Have, July 30, 2005
This review is from: Public Library (Audio CD)
This is my favorite album of the past year! If I were to describe Rundman's music, he really is between Jonathan Richmond and Todd Rundgren (alphabetically and musically).
