I have had the pleasure of hearing this artist's other offerings. His music is pure country with an occasional Latin flare. This particular album, in particular the lyrics, really captured my attention. jAm is a talented writer who can convey emotions through his written word. This stands true with his lyrics in this album. It is a pleasure to listen to.

This is the first album,i have bought from this artist.....he will grow on you!!! it started with just a couple of songs,and now its the whole cd. I am looking into other cd's of his. Very good talented artist

john Arhtur martinez has such a gift with lyrics and a wonderful presentation. This collection is the best production - with suberb musicians and background vocals to add to the jAm mystic. Utopia, the first cut blows me away everytime I hear it. NOt sure where his music is being classified these days - Country, Americana or whatever - This is a must for your collection.

This has to be one of the most listenable CDs of the year. john Arthur martinez is known for his lovely, warm voice and it is showcased beautifully on these selections. The songs range from tender slow ballads to toe-tapping country anthems like the current single, "Utopia". My favorites do include "Utopia", but also "Closer to my Dream" and "The Ride". He has written or co-written 8 of the 11 tracks, so he isn't a newcomer just putting out covers. It's real, it's honest and it's pure great!
