Martin Sexton

[jar]

Martin Sexton is awesome. I saw him do a free show at WPI in 2000. Haven't gotten to see him again since, but I have all of his CDs. Hope to get to a show again soon. Black Sheep is my favorite of the studio albums, followed by WonderBar.

I've seen him with Keller Williams last summer at the Tweeter Center in MA.
I also saw him at The Gathering of the Vibes festival this past summer.
He's got some soul.

Considering our similar tastes in music. This something I should check out?

If I like X, I would like Martin Sexton. Give me some X's.

I've seen him about 3 times (he comes to my college somewhat regularly). It's been very very good each time. I really love when he sings into that extra mic which distorts his voice and makes it sound old-timey (not sure how to explain it or what it's called).

how about a link to a sample?

his vocal style can best be described as soulful, combining the best qualities of singers like Van Morrison, Al Green, Aaron Neville and Otis Redding.

I am pretty sure I've seen him at the Rock 'n Roll HoF in Cleveland with other groups. He was very good IIRC.

There are samples on his website.

sure - i mean, he doesn't particularly have that jam band sound, but it never hurts to try something new, right?

the live version of "Angeline" on this site is one of my personal favs...it's off of "Live Wide Open" which is my favorite of all his CDs (has an awesome version of "Gypsy Woman" too).

while most of that "similar to" list prior to this was questionable, this is an excellent description of him.
