5 out of 5 stars Introspective, Transcendant Beauty.......2006-02-10

Terrence Martin is, if not the best, one of the best singer/songwriters on the folk music scene today. If you are a folky poser and enjoy Ani De Franco, it's not for you. If you love REAL contemporary folk music, you'd be hard pressed to find a better album put out within the last 40 years.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding.......2004-01-15

Terence Martin is a wonderful writer and a superb musician.
If you don't like easy, contemplative music, this is not for you.
If you do, this has to be in your collection. I would compare Terence with a Greg Brown or Chris Smither in sound and style.
I would love to hear him live. Keep recording, Terence, and I will keep buying.

2 out of 5 stars Let's not be too breathless..........2003-09-07

...Anytime reviews compare some singer/songwriter to Dylan, it's intriguing, but inevitably does the guy no favors.
I checked out the album and Martin has some musicality. But his songs seem derivative, not authentic. Take "Bethlehem" -- it's almost as though he saw that David Gray had success with "Babylon," and Steve Earle with "Jerusalem," and figured, "Hey, Bible theme."
A friend said to listen to this guy. I'm rethinking the relationship.

2 out of 5 stars good musicianship, derivative music.......2003-05-05

Well-crafted, but vaguely reminiscent of about 100 other folkies out there. Not much edge, but maybe that's not what to look for here. Would've worked well in "A Mighty Wind."

5 out of 5 stars I can't stop listening to this.......2003-04-23

Well, when I got it (recommended by a friend) I thought, ok, some of the songs are cool, some aren't. But then the more I listened the more obsessed I became with Martin's music. Almost every song is amazing in its own way. I highly recommend this album. It's soulful, authentic and excellent.
