Thank you Cindy for the review on Marty at Lansdowne. I am going to see him
next weekend in Philly - both nights. Is anyone else from the list going?
Cindy's review makes me even more excited about seeing him. Its been
about 3 months since last seeing him (Tarrytown, NY). I know 3 songs of
the new ones - The American, Digging You, and The Beast in Me. The Other
two (Station Man, and Beginning (?)) I have not heard of (unless they are
not the titles. I hope he is gonna have the drummer with him for all the
shows -- did he say? His voice is incredible, his guitar playing is
incredible (the comment about sounding like a whole band is true--I
wouldn't have believed there was just one person playing a few times if I
had not seen it with my own eyes). People have mentioned writing not
being the best but I can't understand that -- songs like Black Sheep,
Glory Bound, Freedom of the Road (tremendous). And the new stuff is so
well written also, American, Digging You and a song called "Wasted". He
puts his heart and soul into everything and it comes out in his live show.
Seeing Marty is really an experience -- I just feel so good and uplifted
during his shows -- it is like some spiritual thing. He brings the
audience into his music, you feel what he's feeling. Its cool. Looking
forward to next weekend!!!
