I noticed Atlantic Records is listing Martin Sexton on their tour dates
page. Did he sign with an Atlantic label or something?>>

Yes. In addition to which, Marty has apparently jumped the folk ship.
After a change of management in the fall (his 2nd management change in a
year), Marty stopped playing church based venues... wrong image & all. This
spring Marty left Flem-Tam (his booking agency). He apparently now tours w/
one of those big silver "Elvis" mics (rock & roll, baby... thank you very
much), & is on his way to becoming a ''star" Good luck to him, he's
possibly the most musically talented individual I've ever seen. I hope the
industry doesn't bite him too hard. Too bad his management has turned him
out from the community that nurtured him. -glenn
