Title: Music to my ears
Review: This album is my first exposure to Martin Sexton, so I may not be as "qualified" as some of the other reviewers. That said, as an avid music fan with a huge range of tastes, my opinion should be at least as a valid as any other. This album is fantastic, plain and simple. I'd give it five stars but, for me, that rating is reserved only for the true and timeless classics. Martin Sexton's singing and vocal range is spectacular. The musicianship, instrumentation and melodies are wonderful, ranging from soulful to folky and from gut-wrenching to smooth and easy. The funny thing for me is, while everyone else keeps pointing to "Diner" as the gem of the album, I actually find that song merely okay and probably the low-point of the album --- then again, I cannot stand Keller Williams and that tune has too much of a Keller-esque quality for my ear. Martin Sexton is a true talent and this album is music to my ears. Word is, he's even better live...
