Editorial Reviews

From the Label

Martin says of his latest release, echoing the words of the writer Kazuo Ishiguo, "Traditional music is a treasure chest waiting to be opened," and he was never more aware of the beauty and the value of the contents of that hoard than in the process of making this recording. Kind Letters is a kind of follow-up to the his award-winning 2001 release The Bramble Briar in that he has chosen songs largely from the English repertoire--some of which have been with him for as long as he can remember.

Martin’s unequalled talents on guitar, banjo, and vocals are joined by a host of outstanding musical accompanists including Nancy Kerr and James Fagan, Chris Parkinson, and members of the celebrated Irish group Danu to produce what is probably Martin’s best album to date.

Product Description

New album of guitar based folk music from 'UK's Ry Cooder'

5.0 out of 5 stars Better with every album, August 28, 2007

This review is from: Kind Letters (Audio CD)
Kind Letters
When I first saw Martin play nearly 20 years ago he was the best I'd ever seen
and I thought he couldn't possibly get any better. Boy was I wrong! Each new
album leaves its predecessors in the dust! "Kind Letters" is fantastic. Don't miss it!
