Martin Sexton, Hallelujah

Absolutely loving Black Sheep and Wonder Bar, and I’ve already ordered two more of his albums: In the Journey and The American. I may have missed out on years of listening enjoyment, but now I get to experience it all for the first time. Woo Hoo!

I read some of the comments on Amazon about Black Sheep, and see that lots of squares like me first discovered Sexton by hearing “Diner” on Scrubs. At least one nimrod complained because every song on the album wasn’t just like “Diner.” Oh, man. It’s so sad that this philistine was given the opportunity to enjoy such emotional and powerful music, but failed to appreciate it. Not that everyone should feel the same way about his music, but to me this stuff is amazing. It’s true, and it’s real. (Dude!)

(You can get another live version of Hallelujah, from Live Wide Open, as an Amazon mp3 download.)
