Just when you think you’ve got a handle on singer songwriters, along comes Martyn Joseph to blow the lid off…..
One of acoustic music’s most arresting artists, Martyn’s particular strength is the lyrical narrative of his songs alongside complex guitar playing, traits much in evidence on his new CD released on October 18th.
Under Lemonade Skies marks Martyn‘s 30th year in the business. It is the album he has always wanted to make and is a defining moment in his career.
It takes his trademark ‘one take’ up-close sound and adds startling textures, stunning instrumentation and expressive vocals to create an album that truly connects with his audience. Joseph says that the job of a good song is to make the listener feel like they are not alone in the world. This record does just that, it affirms the human spirit. From the friendship of Brothers In Exile to the fragile beauty of Seahorse, from the political bent of Lonely Like America and the positive vibe of You’re The Moment, it takes you on a cinematic journey. Full track listing is as follows:
Always Will Be; So Many Lies; You’re The Moment; Seahorse; There’s Always Maybe; Lonely Like America; One Step Up; No peace; On My Way; Brothers In Exile.
The last three decades have seen this gifted and gracious Welshman have five Top 50 UK hits (including Dolphins Make Me Cry and Please Sir) and been in much demand on both sides of the Atlantic. Touring both solo and with the likes of Ani DiFranco, Art Garfunkel and Jools Holland, Martyn has won fans everywhere with his impressive archive of material and his charismatic and compelling live performances.
