Review in The Standard Times ( RI ) by
Dan Ferguson WRIU 90.3 FM
A guitar-slingin' sideman influenced by twangmeisters from James Burton to Clarence White to Albert Lee has brought Stan Martin his main notoriety on the Boston bar band scene. What with holding down positions as guitarist for honky tonk entity The Merles not to mention playing lead for the elder statesman of Beantown country, John Lincoln Wright's Sour Mash Boys for going-on 10 years now, Martin is a fellow who has clearly paid his dues. Having caught the Merles in various opening slots at Cambridge and Boston watering holes over the years, what always caught this ear more than anything was the heavenly twang Martin seemed to continuously yank out of his Telecaster. Quite frankly, it carried the band.
The CD-EP Wicked Heart marks his first dive into the solo ranks and while the Tele is as string-bending fine as ever, the recording affords an opportunity to make acquaintances with Stan Martin the singer and songwriter. Moving in tempo from country shuffle to ballad to charged-up countrified rocker, decent country songs, each and every one from the pen of Martin, is the primary order of business on Wicked Heart. All of five songs in length, Wicked Heart could be considered a bit of a tease that leaves you hankering for more from where this came from.

Thought the CD was quite entertaining
author: Joe Thorton
No, I'm just saying that the CD is easy on the ears. The harmonies are excellent and add a nice touch. I have never heard the term "dog gone crazy" in a song before and Mr. Martin has found a way to masterfully incorporate it into the first track which is an added bonus to the song.
