Product Description
From Amazon.com
Because Massachusetts singer-songwriter Martin Sexton performs alone and accompanies himself on acoustic guitar, he often gets lumped with the new-folk movement and ends up playing on the coffeehouse circuit. Sexton doesn't come out of the guitar-strummer tradition of James Taylor and Pete Seeger, however; he's the heir of blue-eyed-soul-shouters such as Joe Cocker and Bill Medley. So it's no surprise that his album, "Black Sheep," is more impressive for its singing than its writing. --Geoffrey Himes

He is the Vocal Jesus of Americana Music,
By Sheena Turcotte (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Sheep (Audio CD)
No one sings like this man. No one else comes close to this man's talents as a singer/songwriter. Dylan and Young are writing geniuses, but when it comes to vocal capabilities, no one else has the abiliy to reach in and touch me where it's holy. I seeked Martin out after having 4 different people preach his name within the span of a week. This album was my introduction. I survived on his recordings for 4 years, until the opportunity came to see him live. It was probably the greatest concert-going experience of my life. It was him and his guitar for almost 2 hours. He doesn' need musical support; it's almost as if no one else is worthy to take the stage with him. My attention and soul were completely focused for every minute of his stage time. There is no other performer comparable to him.'Live Wide Open' is an amazing array of all that he can do in the live medium. Such clear, full-bodied recordings - they capture Martin Sexton, but they also capture the fervency of his faithful fans. I prefer the recordings of him that are more acoustic, versus the more produced ones. 'Black Sheep' far exceeds 'the American' in personal quality. You'll never regret it!!!! BLACK SHEEP + LIVE WIDE OPEN: Favourite songs: Black Sheep Glory Bound Freedom of the Road Where did I go Wrong? Gypsy Woman Can't Stop Thinkin' Bout You DO IT!!!!

Martin is my Jesus Christ,
By Devoted Martin Fan (Minneapolis, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Sheep (Audio CD)
The only thing better than a Martin Sexton album is a Martin Sexton live show. When I first purchased this album, it did not leave my CD player for 2 weeks. I first heard Martin in my friends car, and became hooked from hearing "Diner" once. What is fantastically fortunate for me is that Martin visits Minneapolis frequently, so I never have to go too long to hear him live. In the time lapses in between, this is the album that keeps me from going into withdraw. "Where did I go wrong with you" can literally bring me to tears if I am in the right frame of mind. Black Sheep is any person's Martin collection staple.

from new listener -- best pipes in the biz,
By A Customer
This review is from: Black Sheep (Audio CD)
Caught Martin at Austin City Limits Festival '03 and have been singing his praises ever since (highlight of the entire weekend for me). Bought Black Sheep because it was an obvious winner; however this purchase will make you wish you'd purchased the box set from the get go. Vocal range beyond belief, but he only let's the horses out the stable when they're hungry (which is a good thing). If you even slightly enjoy this cd, dont't miss a show within 200 miles of the Dirty South because they're extremely hard to come by. Still waiting for the '04 southeast tour to be announced. The ATL fan club is multiplying!!!! FYI - a live version of Freedom of the Road is all you need to be hooked.
