Martin has a great knack when it comes to songwriting, October 22, 2003
This review is from: East of November (Audio CD)
The disc opens up with the track "Amber" which pretty explicitly deals with the loss of someone dear, not to death, but by the choice to leave and move on. Just as the former CD, Martin also has a great knack when it comes to songwriting. It reminded me of a folksy Jeff Buckley mixed with a Dylan-esque aura that surrounds the songs from beginning to end. With all the traveling that this guy has done to promote himself, it makes me think of the simple image of a man with his guitar, singing songs, not for the money or fame, but for himself. The traveling bard, going places to spread his word to the masses.
... The disc has everything from beautiful ballads to quasi-rock rhythm songs. I wouldn't be surprised to hear this guy on the radio soon. I guess only time will tell.
