Martin Sexton-Black Sheep

[MuppetsFan1]

One person is a white sheep.

[LauraNielsen58]

i have now listened to what i feel like are a hundred different ways that he has sang this.. and this is beyond amazing. It is like he didnt try when he recorded this. - EVERYONE should listen to this .. .haha i may be obsessed.

[ringwrath52]

1 person was so amazed that they crapped their pants and hit the dis on the way to the bathroom

[guitarmanlucas]

Anyone feel a Dave Mathews out of this. they sound much more alike than any other two  artists. wow.

[Stringprodigy]

@guitarmanlucas He doesn't sound at all like Dave Matthews.

[lt3tretrois]

@guitarmanlucas I gotta dissagree. I don't think they sound alike at all. but whatever. They're both good.

[nskylis]

The Real Deal!! Just the sweetest and realest voice around!

[ljferguso]

Need to hear the Animal Song...Help!

[GemmaFCKNLynn]

woow , i saw him at the folk fest and fell in love. go see him live its so much better than his c-ds : )

[MassTwingles]

Martin's music is a gift! There are so many superlatives that can't quite capture what it is -- you just FEEL it! Just wow, totally blown away!

[mcutss123]

i love you martin!!!!!

[GoodTunesFtw]

Yeah... I saw him in Vancouver last summer. He's great performer.

[badongism]

Aside from Freddie Mercury and possibly Jason Mraz, I'd put him as one of the best vocalists I've ever heard

[rainsurfer]

Don't forget Jeff Buckley

[seancoppinger]

found out about him when I was looking for Jeff Buckley soundalikes.. this guy is amazing

[johnbDMB]

martin sexton just made me cry.

i had no idea he was so good.

i am gonna go buy an album RIGHT NOW. he moved me, beyond tears.

[ajkuen]

dude, I AM pumped that you were moved. He is amazing. Tell everybody you know about this man, he's got such an incredible gift and it has to be shared with the world. Spread the word and music of Martin Sexton. Peace! Adam

[brunorolf]

you WILL NOT regret it... he's absolutely incredible, what a gift. he inspired me to leave home and pursue my dream of music just about a week ago... i hope he knows how powerful his craft really is. enjoy!

[whitecarnation75]

Thank-you Martin Sexton!

[recifebra3]

saw him in mpls at a sweet venue...and YES, best ever live performance, no one captures the audience like him

[battlebitz]

Live show = best show i've seen thus far hands down.

(Edmonton Alberta Canada, April 11, 2009)

[seancreed]

saw him live twice...best live act ever! period!

[frmwthn]

art imitating life

[Fjell1969]

I stumbeled upon "Diner" on Scrubs and now I'm hooked.

Searching for the music as we speek.

I'm nerver going to get to see him live as I live in Sweden, god bless the internet :)

[kidhogie]

i like how he smiles once he spots the camera at the 4 minute mark. Go see him live. There's nothing else like it!

[pickingfool]

smoking job!

[marjohanna1]

He is sooo amazing live!!! It's a spiritual experience.

[paulyg4]

Right as I was thinking I can't find anyone I really like...this song hits me like a ton of bricks. I think everyone should listen to this song once in awhile

[propwatch]

Ha! It sounds like he's saying "bah bah black sheep" at some parts... I love it though. Don't thumbs down me.. please.. it may break me.

[INTHEJOURNEY]

I suppose it is one of those double entendre type of things:)

[genebake]

AWESOME !!! WHAT A VOICE....Damn Dude I Must Be Living Under A Rock........ I Just Happened To Find You On Youtube and You Have A New Fan !!! Great Music !!!

[dutch941]

MARTY..IF you ever read this.....I still want you to do the old original BLACKSHEEP live. The faster version..It was awesome. I had a tape of you doing it for awhile but I lost it!

Schultzie's little bro in Syracuse

[bandchic1970]

you are not as good as you think.Granted you can sing and play but the reason 99.9% of people don't know who you are is because you are just not original enough.Maybe some day. but not until you are more humble and not so big headed.

[jochawki]

I feel sorry for the 99.9% of people you're talking about who think the music they hear every time they turn on the radio is original. What a joke. Obviously you've never seen the man live. Most talanted singer/songwriter going.

[zamon11]

Humble? Big headed? Martin sexton is one of the most unpretentious performers today. In different versions of this songs, he mentions being grateful for every hardship that comes his way. He has inspired and toured with the likes of John Mayer- he is "unknown" by choice. He created his own label to keep his grass root feel. If you can post a video reply of ANY adult-male singer with a voice as pure as his, then I'd be impressed.

[dutch941]

youre a fool...Hes about the most original performer I ve ever heard....but his music isnt in sync with the common folk. Is it his fault he refuses to budge and put out music like every other sellout out there?

STAY ORIGINAL Marty!

[feetheweasel]

The fact is this, an ignorant ear will never understand. And what music is original anymore. Everything is either taken or directly influenced by something before. You'd know that if you knew anything at all about real hand made American music. None of which is really played on the radio anymore. Hence your ignorance my friend,,,keep comin back....and go to a show.

[bgrrrr]

Sorry you obviously feel dissed. Maybe you weren't his type, or he didn't pick you out of the large crowds he plays to.

That said, 1) his head, I mean his actual cranium is sorta large, but what's yer point there?

2) 99% of people don't know him BECAUSE he is original. Jewel was original once, then she sold out and now where is she? Repeat this story ad-infinum,

Marty and the late Michael Hedges, along with Ani DiFranco are the most talented, original singer/songwriters I know of...

[telindstrom56]

Black sheep is the best martin sexton song ever. and Martin is the best vocalist out there performing today

[Shinnbone13]

He's simply the most amazing live performer on tour today. This summer he's got what looks like at least 4 shows a week, and this is a man that's been playing live shows since the early 90's. When you inspire people like John Mayer, who uses a lot of element from Martin, you know you've been successful. His music is almost a religious experience, and I've yet to see a live show, but there are 4 in my area in the next month or so. glad people are posting his videos

[feetheweasel]

Shinnbone13 did you ever make that show???

[arnold1108]

So awesome... So much passion..

[iadmike]

beautiful...haha CAN I GET A HALLELUJAH

[alesandra1234]
