Editorial Reviews

Greg Roberts, KVET-FM/Country Line Magazine-Austin, TX

"Leland Martin's songs are ones that people can relate to. They almost ooze "traditional radio-friendly" country."

Product Description

Many country music listeners wish they could hear a more traditional form of country. With a little help from some of Nashville's best musicians, his friend Freddie Hart, and a special visit from Charlie McCoy, Leland Martin returns to a traditional sound wrapped around 13 new songs and one old favorite. From the brilliant new trucker's song, "Stone Cold Fingers" to the nostalgic "Don't Ya Think" to the humorous "Hand-Me-Downs", this album sparkles. The beautifully sparse rendition of "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" is also worth a listen. Two holiday bonus tracks are also included very cleverly so they don't intrude on the rest of the album. Definitely worth a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gifted Singer/ Songwriter. Leland is a Rising Star, December 7, 2002

After hearing several Leland Martin's songs on the radio I searched Amazon to see just who this unfamiliar singer was. His voice Is Country Music at its best. Leland Martin is Cash, Haggard and Jones, Vern Gosdin, Randy Travis,Johnny Horton, Keith Whitley, Alan Jackson,Travis Tritt, John Anderson, Aaron Tippin, and Mark Chestnut all bundled up - but original. I bought "Simply Traditional" on the faith of two songs heard on the airwaves. I found 15 outstanding performances. Good Luck Leland.

Simply Traditional by Leland Martin is one if not the best i've heard in a long time. Traditional Country is the best if there was more than 5 stars rating it would get my vote. Thanks Leland for allowing me to hear some good country music, this is the best.
