Reviews:
"Now and again you stumble across a shiny gem. This is definitely one."
- Folk Roots Magazine, June 2001 -

"It comes as no surprise that songwriter Terence Martin is also a poet. Martin's songs are poetic in structure, sketching out pointed observations of the world around him."
- Dirty Linen, August 2001 -

"There is so much good writing on Waterproof that one is tempted to seek out lines here and there, and collect and savor them, picking out favorites."
- Richard Cuccaro, Acoustic Live in NYC -

"Terence Martin, like Richard Shindell, is a vivid wordsmith whose darkly fluid songs seep into your head and heart."
- John Platt, WFUV -

"Terence Martin is a deep and thoughtful writer, composes finely crafted songs, has a beautiful voice, plays a mean guitar... and it doesn't hurt that he looks like Harrison Ford!"
- Christine Lavin -

"You won't need a lyric sheet to be compelled by this artist, who paints vivid pictures in words and music. This is a full-length, ready-to-go CD that makes a deep impression via Martin's breathy, bassy voice, simple-yet-effective melodies and tasteful arrangements, especially on "Waterproof," and "Orphanage Trees." This is grown-up, high-calibre stuff."
- MUSIC CONNECTION MAGAZINE, February 2001 -

"Waterproof is very well done and is a nice follow-up to Martin's first CD, Division Street.Among the current crop of singer/songwriters, Terence Martin is a real find."
- Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange -

"A finely crafted series of elegant, shimmering soundscapes..."
- Newark Star Ledger -

" Rich, dark and polished, like a fine piece of furniture."
- MusicDish -

Terence Martin has a great acoustic/folk/pop style that leaves you breathless after just the first few songs. As I expected, the lyrics were great and presented that inspiring storylike feel. Terence creates a tapestry of great imagery with his music. You can almost see your version of the video in your mind. The acoustic guitar seems to reach out and grab a hold of you, while the subtle background instruments create a fill that makes the music seem larger than life. I'm always happy to review music of this quality. Terence Martin has that tone of his voice that pulled me into each song. I've reviewed a lot of folk music over the years, but I can't think of anyone who I simply loved to listen to more than this music and this artist. If you're an Americana/Folk style music fan, this is definitely an album that will not disappoint.

"I can't get Waterproof out of my CD players, and it's likely to end up my favorite album of the year."
- Jeffrey Gill, Folk Image -

"If this were recorded on vinyl, my copy would quickly wear out."
- Cliff Seltzer, Main Stage Coffeehouse -

    I was listening to a small radio station in Sterns, KY and heard "Hank Williams", I was blown away. I ordered the CD as soon as I found out who this guy was. Since then, I've ordered "Sleeper", "Waterproof", and "Division Street". I just can't stop listening to them. I'm waiting for more and hoping that he will play somewhere close. Thanks for the music, I would recommend all of his CD's.

  • I had to buy it twice....!!!
    author: Scott

    I first heard the song "Folding Chairs" on Folk Alley.com web radio. I have an iPod with iTunes and found this album there. I purchased Waterproof origianlly on iTunes and immediately loved it. However...upon buying his other two albums from CD Baby, I decided to go ahead and get a hard copy disc of Waterproof as well. Wonderful buy...you won't regret it!

  • I am very impressed with this guys music.

    I never heard of Terrance Martin before. I'm going to see Richie Havens next month and Terrance is going to be with him. I took a gamble and bought his disk. His music is great and I am surprised he hasnt gotten more air play.

  • Beautiful and thoughtful

    I usually take reviews of cd's with a pinch of salt. But the reviews above are exactly right. This has got to be one of finest 'stumble upon by accident cd's' I have purchased in many a year. A truly great singer songwriter and thats no bullshit.
