Editorial Reviews

Les Reynolds, Indie-Music, July 2002

The third CD from the Ontario, Canada-based husband-wife duo Martha's Trouble is a good one...

Product Description

Sleeping Dogs is an acoustic album with a nice blend of folk & pop music. Jen's vocals are striking if nothing else. The production is just right to support the 11 original songs ranging from love, to loss, travels, despair, & happiness. Produced by Chris Rosser & Jerry York.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost as good as seeing them live!, April 14, 2003

I saw Martha's Trouble live (actually, just Jen and Rob in an acoustic show) in the dead of winter in a room with no heat, but this dynamic duo still managed to make everyone in the room feel lucky to be there. Jen's unique voice and use of percussion along with Rob's intricate guitar playing made everyone in the room forget the cold, at least until the show was over. I highly recommend this CD to everyone (along with all their other CDs), no matter what your taste. I generally like rock music, but Martha's Trouble is a band that has definitely made it on my "favorite bands" list.

5.0 out of 5 stars grows on you, January 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Sleeping Dogs (Audio CD)

I saw this CD in Hear Music and was really hesitating at buying it. The woman's voice is a little different - I wondered if i'd find it irritating over time (it's a bit "high pitched"? - don't know how to describe it).

Well, after getting home with it, I think it's left the CD player twice in 6 months. It remains one of my favorite albums in my collection and a few others have went out a bought it after hearing mine. If you like acoustic folk/type music with good lyrics, percussion, etc., this is a can't miss selection.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute Delight, October 4, 2002

This group is a new discovery for me. The musicality of their work is remarkable. Multi-layered and rich. A beautiful mix of guitar and percussion marks each track. That voice, Wow, what a soft crisp tone. The music takes it's time and unfurls like thread from a spool. Great music for a roadtrip.
