The pleasure of his melodies, lyrics and voice and the great sense of clarity, incredible!" ~ Sunny Robbins, WDDR - FM, Florida "Tomlinson's music conveys an obvious spirituality, not necessarily in the religious sense. His song writing explores human emotions and reaches the listener - going straight for the heart." ~ Tom De Savia, Cash Box "I don't know of very many singer/songwriters who can stamp "quality craftsmanship" on every single album they've released. Michael Tomlinson can! With every opportunity I get to recommend music, he's first on my list." ~ Sandy Shore, KXDC, Monterey Bay, CA "Tomlinson is rare in the music world of catchy lyrics and elaborate techniques, He gives it to you straight. His genial voice offers a comfortable, down to earth feeling and it's easy to believe what he sings." ~ Nancy J. Caldwell, LA Jazz Scene "There's no preachiness in his songs of love and love of Earth, just the voice of a regular guy." ~ The Seattle Weekly "Tomlinson is thoughtful, passionate, upbeat and fresh in a contradictory world." ~ Kelly Gilbert, Baltimore Evening Sun "Tomlinson is a singer whose allure is simplicity and honesty. It's the lyrics of his songs and how he sings them that makes Tomlinson stand apart." ~ Steve Cole, Anchorage Times "Calling Me Back to the Wild is a delight from beginning to end. The tastefully produced collection of melodies benefits from a singing voice that could wring sunlight from an eye-chart. Like such kindred artists as Bruce Cockburn, Danny O'Keefe and David Wilcox, Michael demonstrates that he's got a stronger-than-ever grasp on the form." ~ Wood & Steel Magazine "Michael's music is rich in reflections, while celebrating the passionate love felt between people." ~ Ann Buzenburg, The Celestine Journal "I highly recommend Michael's songs to anyone with a desire to open their heart." ~ John Lee, Author of The Flying Boy "A voice unequalled by any other male singer I know. His uncanny ability to cascade over a series of notes while singing only one syllable seduces the senses. His lyrics are fired with energy and ripe with emotion." ~ Victory Music Review "Michael Tomlinson is one of the most gifted singer/song-writers of this or any other decade. He has the rare ability to touch listeners hearts. His fans are passionate about his music." ~ Rob Moore, Program Director - KCFE, Minneapolis "Tomlinson's melodic, jazz-inflected songs deal with the need to be honest with others...his clear, breezy tenor is strikingly beautiful." ~ Gene Stout, Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Besides having a clear, strong voice, Michael is a wonderful poet and lyricist. His songs speak to the feelings of love, delight, introspection, joy and pathos, creating for the listener a sense of community with both the artist and the entire planet." ~ Rhonda Dicksion, Seattle's New Times "The best concert I have ever been to!" ~ Kristi Renkievicz, Route 41 Magazine
