”This is another stunning artist who couldn't catch a break with his record label. Can you guess why? That's right. There's no answer. Meet Martin Sexton, one of the greatest singers of our generation. This is the music of my LIFE, people. I discovered Martin in Boston in 1997, learned how to write songs beside it, got my first cheap ass apartment and listened to "Black Sheep" just to get my soul over the fence of night and into the next day. I listened to Martin every night I drove from my cookie cutter cubby apartment to play Eddie's Attic. About 25 miles each way, and I dreamed my fucking heart out to this music. I may just quit my job and go follow Martin and make a fuss everywhere I go, just to make sure that people don't go their lives without hearing this man sing to them. (Check out "The American" as well...slicker production, but a bit more consistent front to back).”
