Album Notes

Don't you wonder why world-famous jazz bassist Eddie Gomez, chart-topping singer Michael Johnson, Grammy-winner and mandolin whiz Marty Stuart, and banjo virtuoso Tony Trischka all came to play on her indie-label album?

Give a listen to the artist the New York Times described as "inventive, masterful - may be one of Long Island's best kept secrets"

SingOut! called it "a jewel - psychologically acute without over-explaining. Its combination of polish and subtlety are the album's chiefest virtues."

Order now! Beat the rush! Operators are standing by!
(God, I always wanted to say that. Hi Mom.)

REVIEWS

Incredible - voice, lyrics, guitar & harmonies at their finest - what a talent!
author: Lois Stockall, Deland, Florida
I was so pleased to see that someone still writes and sings music like this - great, beautiful music. Martha is a remarkable talent with an incredible voice. (Enjoy her, Long Island, while you can. She is a shooting star.) I think my favorite track is Something 'Bout Traveling, although every piece brings back smiles of the real folk music we grew up on. Yet, somehow with this CD, it has grown, evolved and matured. Her voice is so beautiful and diversified. After hearing this CD, I have to go see her in concert. Enjoy this CD. I do every day.

Good song writing with some really excellent cuts. Highly recommend.
author: William Edson/chicago, Il
Martha has a very strong voice and her guitar accompaniment really works well. I think she would be a great live performer. Several of the tracks have great harmonies. You'll like this new artist.
