Martin Sexton

Folk crooner Martin Sexton's newest release Seeds shows Sexton's pop sensibilities haven't dulled a bit since his first record in '96. The musical arrangements are lush and voluminous but they avoid the over-production that often occurs when an experienced singer/songwriter steps into the studio. Not to mention the "mouthwash" vocals of Sexton that have made him so affable--that is, his smoothness lingers in your head long after the record has been played out. With the album title connoting a going-back-to-the-roots approach, Sexton really draws upon the experience and the musical prowess he's garnered throughout his somewhat illustrious career to bring forth a carefully constructed album that is sure to delight both the young and old.
