@zzzyts it's a melodica with the mouthpiece removed & replaced w/ surgical tubing. As far as the band, I'm sure if you hit the boards at Marty's site, someone will know.
C'mon Jack Black is pretty talented. He has serious musical chops. Anyone who's watched both of these guys performs can see a similiarity. They're both little balls of musicality that cannot be stopped! It flows out of them so naturally.
Yea Jack Black and Martin Sexton are exactly alike...that is if you somehow removed all of Sexton's talent! Comparing the two is like comparing Yo Yo Man to a gradeschooler with a violin!
Thanks for posting this. One of my all time favorite songs. It changed my life. I heard it for the 1st time one morning at 3am, and it put things into perspective for me.
Wow!

I think he sounds more like young Van Morrison, but with a much higher range. But all in all, his voice is all his own. Brilliant.

Jacks no match for Martin in this type of music. They both like different types of music.
