Press Reviews Victory Review (Seattle, Washington)June 1997To A Silent DrumHere we have some very fine melodic contemporary songwriting. Hart’s tenor vocals are expressive and satisfying; the material is tastefully produced, with varied instrumentation, sparkling guitar, and arrangements that make his well-crafted lyrics shine. The songs range from the sharp socio-political commentary of “That Was the Week,” to the humoresque anti-New Age mood of “Five Senses,” to the sweetly reflective “Take Gentle Care”. Hart’s material and melodies are a cut above the usual singer-songwriter fare. This is a highly enjoyable CD, worth listening to again and again. Highly Recommended! (Betty Tartas)The Phoenix (Worcester, MA)Nov-Dec 1998Dan Hart- Hey look! Political folk music that doesn’t suck! Danny boy really pulled a gem out of his songbook with Armegeddon (sic) Now and Then. Weighty topics covered by clever lyrics and a dry wit. Certainly a guy to root for in a genre that could use a jump-start. (John O'Neill)Nov-Dec 1998Singer/songwriter Dan Hart has followed the wonderful to a silent drum with an even-better second effort. Apocalypse now and then (Stone Boat music) reads like a modern-day Kerouac. His title track ridicules Bill Gates’ attempts to send us into the 21st century, sees the Heaven’s Gate as an ominous sign and points out the irony of celebrity when he sings “even Manson’s got a website.” Hart wears boots like Billy Ray Cyrus while riding the "Big Rig (on the Information Highway),” thanks MCI for getting him to call his mom (“You Can’t Go Home”), and sings about the futility of lovers trying to carve their initials in steel (“Relay Tower”).
