Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Flaunting the playful, bluesy voice that has kept him popular for almost two decades, folkie extraordinaire Martin Sexton returns on Seeds, his first new set of songs in seven years (not counting 2005's holiday-themed Camp Holiday). Of course, for a renowned road warrior like Sexton recorded work isn't really the point, as this release like all the others is just more fodder for his famously blistering live sets (memorably captured on 2000's Live Wide Open). Still, it's a welcome dose of the man's music--a mix of broadly appealing jams, Van Morrison-esque drama and Sexton's earthy pipes, reminiscent of R&B greats like Otis Redding. "Happy" opens it up with a cheery, gospel-tinged vibe, riding easygoing organs and guitars straight into the equally summery "Thought I Knew Ya." Later, an electrified vocal track plugs a charge into the hop-a-long tune "Marry Me" while guest Nils Lofgren's juke joint guitar vibe livens up "How Far I've Come." Sexton can get a little corny with his lyrics ("Wild Angels" contains a few samples), but as a musician his overt earnestness is the secret to his success. It's not always subtle but the guy has an absolute knack for classic roots music. With the energy of a true believer, Sexton manages to infuse a timeless appeal into every track. --Matthew Cooke

5.0 out of 5 stars Remember "Black Sheep" ? ..., April 12, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
... this is back to the original MS in my opinion. MS knocks this one over the Green Monster. He teams up with Crit Harmon again (Black Sheep) to produce this one. Remember the clean sound (production values) of Black Sheep? It's back! The songs hit you in the gut, the music makes you tap your toe. They swing and rock. Marty's voice never sounded better, and he's keeping it under control -- just enough control.

I don't know if he'll ever again hit the lyric highs he hit on Black Sheep and In the Journey. But this is vintage MS, the reason I buy all his records without hearing them (been a little bit disappointed a couple of times -- but I still own them and they do grow on me.) No disappointments this time.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!, April 3, 2007
By K. TURNER (Syracuse, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Marty's done it again! A nice production, but not so overproduced as to ruin his earthy musical charm his audience enjoys when he plays live. Some Amazon reviewers of his Christmas CD complained of it being too raw, whereas some complained of THE AMERICAN (his major label debut) too overproduced and polished. Even those naysayers may find some common ground with this release, as the music touches upon the many genres he's played, yet maintaining a cohesive album "flow". A remarkable feat, for sure. A little tribute to Tom Waits (Keep It Simple, the closing track) breaks some new musical ground, without sounding to "experimental" (read-"out there"). The fans have been hungry for a new studio CD from Marty for some years, and this should not disappoint, and maybe even expand the fan base a bit! BUY THIS NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!, April 3, 2007
By Kat (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews
Martin Sexton is amazing, full of soul, original, and inspirational! I am so excited to be listening to this new album and I can't wait to hear him perform it in concert. Martin Sexton is in my opinion the greatest performer, singer, and song writer. His music soothes my soul!

4.0 out of 5 stars Catchy - but not his best work.
I enjoyed quite a few songs on this album. However, I prefer his earlier work (The American, Wonder Bar). This album seemed to have a bit more "filler" to it. Read more
