Sorry, but this isn't the Martin Sexton I remember. I used to go see him when he would come through town in the mid 90s and he would play with just his guitar. Dude can really play the hell out of an acoustic guitar, and he usually doesn't really need the mic in a small venue he sings so damn loud. But I must admit, i don't much care for this song. I for one would like to hear some older stuff.
The local NP radio station here in western NC has a version of this song that he recorded at their studio. It was just Martin and his guitar. This song and Martin's voice are absolutely gorgeous without all that production. If you can get your hands on WNCW's "Crowd Around the Mike, Vol 8", I highly recommend listening to the version there!
Please don't ever play this song again!! It is trite and terrible.
This has to be the most awful thing I have heard on RP

I'm "digging" this...I'd like to catch him live. Nice voice....
Play more Martin Sexton!!!
When I saw the title of this come up I thought, "Oh no! not another version!" Guess not... but then repeating that word over and over is enough for rejection!!

As of 9 October 2008 there are two MS tracks at RP, neither of which have ever been aired.
An upload of the excellent "The Way I Am" was summarily rejected without even making it to the LRC.
I'm guessing he turned RP down for a free CD or appearance or hit on Rebecca and got on the grudge list. I'm also guessing if he ever pulls a Ray LaMontagne and becomes a trendy/widespread critical darling, suddenly those rejected tracks will get some attention. "Shelter" got the RP Finger the first time I uploaded it; add a little underground popularity and lo, it's now in rotation.
Don't presume B/R always judge music on "merit"- buzz has a lot to do with it. Not much else to explain the reversal of sentiment towards uploaded music that was rejected.

I heard those first lines and had to get up and comment.
When I was 14 I worked at a Dairy Queen in the next town over and I thought my boss, the owner, was Satan!
If he wasn't Satan, he was simply the biggest asshole in the world.

If you've never seen Martin live, you've never seen one of the most talented living performers. His records don't quite capture his talent, but he's amazing. Love that you're playing this song!
Oh My This Rocks. and the lyrics are intriquing, too.

yeah- bring on the Martin Sexton Bill!!!!!!!!!!
It's got 4 ratings but never been played... ?
Couldn't have said it better myself. This one had me reach (or actually "wretch") for the mute button.
