Title: Been following since '90 in Harvard Square
Review: I first heard Martin singing and playing guitar on the streets of Harvard Square in 89 or 90, and then in Johnny D's in Somerville, MA a few years later, and I liked him so much I bought one of his home recorded cassettes - the talent was just amazing. His sweet, powerful voice with it's honky-tonk, bluesy overtones, and his excellent Chicago swing-blues guitar style come through on every song, whether it's a real swing-blues style (Thirteen Step Boogie) or something a little folksier. I'm honestly NOT a fan of folk music, and I don't think Martin fits that genre's description well, but by breaking the mold he has really held my interest through the years.
