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.

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.

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.

This is a brilliant CD. The vocals take on a dreamlike quality with a voice of velvet. The lyric are poignant without being obtuse. Although this was classified as folk, I would say that it does not fit firmly into any catagory, instead crosses alot of boundries between alternative, folk, pop and even a hint of country. I would highly recommend this CD to anyone who is ready for something different and appreciates music that is purely from the heart.

Only one word can describe this husband and wife duo, inspiration! The stories they tell, the people they meet, the things they have been through have brought them a long way from their first album! Their music is uplifting and rich and unique in every way. Rob on guitar is creative, while Jen's voice captures you! Great job!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have seen Martha's Trouble live in Burlington, Vt and we just fell into the place they were playing. What an awesome sound they have and they are just awesome live. The album is great and I highly recomend this cd to anyone!
