Album Notes

Robert Martin was a 2005 Top Ten CCMA Male Vocalist of the Year Award Nominee and a 2004 Top Five CCMA New Artist of the Year Award Nominee.

ROBERT MARTIN IS ABOUT TO RESUME PRODUCTION ON A NEW COUNTRY CD IN NASHVILLE, SO SALES ARE VERY HELPFUL TO GET THAT CD DONE. SO, BUY AWAY! THE NEW CD IS GOING TO BE VERY GOOD. ALSO, CHECK OUT THE ROBERT MARTIN COUNTRY GOSPEL CD, "THE GOSPEL TRUTH". IT IS A NASHVILLE PRODUCED CD AND AVAILABLE NOW at www.rmartin.us!!!

Weather The Storm was the debut Country album for singer and songwriter, Robert Martin, on Rodeo Records in Fort Worth, Texas. The CD was produced by Steve Stewart at Spirit Of The West Productions in Fort Worth, Texas. If you are a fan of Country Music, this is an album for you!

This is what Steve Stewart has to say about Robert Martin:

"Robert Martin has been a close friend of mine for many years, and I have persistently encouraged him to pursue his singing and songwriting talents. In my opinion, Robert has written some of the best country songs I've heard in a long time, and being a professional country music entertainer myself for over 25 years, I've heard a lot of them!

If you listen closely, I think you will agree that he is one of the best singer/songwriters in country music today...and I mean Country! Robert creates a song from the heart and delivers it straight from his soul with an honest simplicity. There is no doubt that Robert Martin is pure country down to his traditional core!

I was pleased and honored when Robert asked me to produce Weather The Storm. My main objective was to preserve the integrity of the songs and present them as a reflection of our mutual beliefs about country music. Fortunately, Robert and I seem to always get the same idea about how each song should sound in the end...and that is a good thing when we're involved in a recording project!

I hope you will support the efforts of two good ol' country boys in this ongoing venture, as we plan to produce several albums of Robert's material over the next few years. Please be sure to get your copy of Weather The Storm and future albums as they are released, so you'll have the entire collection."

Special Thanks:

To the Lord for the gift of music
Mom & Dad for raising me on Country Music
My wife and children for tolerating my nightly rehearsal sessions and my office staff for enduring my daily rehearsal sessions!

Thanks to all of the international DJs, sales outlets, and fans that have helped make this album such a success.

Thanks to Frank Fara and Patty Parker at Comstock Records, Ltd. for a superb worldwide promotion of this album.

Last, but certainly not least, thanks to Steve Stewart for all of his hard work on this album and for his encouragement over the last ten years. In his travels as a country music entertainer, I am certain that he has met many people from all walks of life, including singers and songwriters, and although I have never quite understood what he ever saw in me, I consider myself fortunate to have had the access and opportunity to learn from him, while watching him perform over the years. More than anything else, I would like to sincerely thank him for a terrific friendship.
