Quotes-
The Delta Blues style of Brian Martin quickly takes you back to the days when the genres legends were hopping trains, hitchin' rides, and playing for drinks in backroad shanty clubs"
-Mark Wehner, host of Americana Tonight!
"Leon Redbone meets Mississippi John Hurt."
-The Tennessean
Mostly characterized by his powerful and gruff voice, which brings to mind Tom Waits, and even Louie Armstrong, Mr. Martin will soon become a player that many after him will note as influential.
-Bill Solleder, producer of The Valley of the Vapors Music Festival
With a voice imbued with the spirits of Leon Redbone, Mississippi John Hurt and Tom Waits and blues guitar skills rivaling those of John Lee Hooker, Southwest Arkansas' Brian Martin is a throwback to old-school Delta country blues.
-Anthony Davis, Texarkana Gazette
