"Great show last night!! Your songs were stuck in my head and I was singing them this morning!! 30 days late, that's the story of my life!! A day late, a dollar short!! Real music never dies!" -- Andre, SF  

"Michael calls his music, 'Roadhouse Blues and Roots Rock.' That's exactly what he delivers on his new CD, Playing in the Dark. The bluesy first track 'Full Time Lover' sets the stage for a wide-cultured collection of originals that keeps us true to our roots. I really like the unique and edgy 'Wishful Thinking,' the soulful 'Even Jesus Had the Blues' and the impressive improvisations during 'Why Don’t You Say Goodbye.' The last track, 'Heads You Win, Tails I Lose' is an upbeat celebration that finishes a traditional anthology of styles that I would like to see more of. Playing in the Dark should do very well." -- Blues Review.com

"WOW! Several of us went to see Michael's band tonight at Biscuit & Blues in San Francisco. He is SOOOOOOO talented, and has a great band (with a wickedly good keyboardist!) I was completely knocked out! I will definitely be checking out another show of his. Great blues & rock!! He had us girls up and dancin'--we may have to form a groupie group!! He even signed our CDs!!" -- Cat, Walnut Creek, CA 

"Michael has the blues down with originality and passion. This new album is the next best thing to seeing Michael live. --"Songlover", Ferndale, CA

"This CD is a lot of fun. The songs each tell a story -- some funny, some poignant -- but the are all a rocking good time. Everyone can relate to the perils of being '30 Days Late' and anyone who has ever been or dated a musician will appreciate the humor of 'If I Could Marry My Guitar'. This CD is in permanent rotation on my iPod." -- Trixie, Berkeley, California 

"This music caught my attention! I'm not really a jazz or blues fan, but each song on this CD kept me looking forward to the next song. Great sing-along music, great background music, great overall music! Catchy lyrics. It's got it all!" -- Maryann, Maryland

"Robinson's style of roadhouse blues and roots rock features catchy tunes, gutsy vocals and clever lyrics. The disc's range of styles and rhythms goes from the Chuck Berry-driven 'If I Could Marry My Guitar' to the B.B. King-inspired 'Even Jesus Had the Blues' to the Americana feel of 'Halfway to Mexico' and the roots vibe of '30 Days Late.' The blues are alive and well in Oakland." --  Leslie Katz, Oakland Tribune

"I can't believe more people haven't heard of you. I thought your set was superior." --Dave, Woodside, CA

"Love this CD! Sounds great, and FEELS good to listen to it, whether on the road, hangin' by the pool or just kickin' back with friends. It's got a great vibe, orignal sounds, clever lyrics--my personal favorite: 30 Days Late!" --Review on CDBaby
