John Mayer & Martin Sexton Can't Stop Thinking Bout You

[Mimimph]

Martin Sexton and John Mayer = a perfect duet. Gorgeous, moving, love it.

[AWAX0824]

Man o Man..Wish I could of transported myself to this show. Awesome!

[Skipperjif]

Marty you are truly a bad mamma jamma! If you like this type of music check out Hadden Sayers from Texas he has a duet with Ruthie Foster called back to the blues that's un-real!

[gildone84]

I discovered Martin 10 or 11 years ago. Saw him at a small venue in 2001, maybe 100 people there. Being a fan then felt kind of like being a member of an exclusive club. At my wedding in 2002 the bridal dance began with 'Diggin' Me," which my wife and I consider our song. I live in a cave as far as pop culture goes, so I had no idea until recently how big he's become. He's earned it.

Nothing to see here. Just two men purging their souls on a motherfucking boat, like bosses.

[peterfidelis]

I've seen both live and Martin Sexton is incredibly sharp playing live. Sexton is my favorite modern day singer/songwriter. Mayer on more than one occasion has labeled him as his favorite singer/songwriter as well. Sexton would be hugh if he wasnt adamantly independent.  The guy has soul and character to go along with his unique voice and exceptional guitar playing abilities.

[soozieschmoove]

get w/ the program ppls marty is the man!! and his studio albums do him zero justice.. go see him live! you will leave a diff person, i promise! =)

[Dubstun]

That was........reeaally good =O.

[grnoodleman]

I saw Martin in Indy about a year ago, and I have to say in all my years of watching guy and a guitar shows, nobody has ever moved me like Martin Sexton has. There is so much passion and soul behind his voice, he doesn't even seem to fit into this time period. I can't urge people enough to go and check him out. You will NOT be disappointed.

[eminence18]

that was sick

[slvvh15]

Cant believe theres only 120,000 hits Spread this people!!

[GayrotKnizite]

1 dislike=1 major bieber fan

[PeteWojMusic]

Ha. James Blunt gets huge and Martin (for the most part) doesn't? this is a fucked up world we live in people.

[FXMAN66]

One "dislike"? WTF?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MattsonGriffiths]

I heard Craig Cardiff's of 'Glory Bound' and went to find Sexton's original.

...

A-MAZ-ING musician. His entire sound is so relaxing!

[LittleLilly267]

umm my two favorite artists of all time in one building on the same stage. Why? Why was I not there? Why doesn't this happen more often?

[shayshaymorphinelips]

So yeah this is pretty much amazing.

[poodythang]

WOW ! Beautiful !

[chaserf1883]

A truly bada** musician

[TrentonJoe1]

The worlds biggest douchebag.

[mfergy514]

@TrentonJoe1 I hope you're talking about john and not martin. if so I completely agree if not F-OFF!

[TrentonJoe1]

@mfergy514 Did I say the worlds biggest "douchebags" plural? I can care less about either one really. So you can F OFF. Hows that?

[mfergy514]

@TrentonJoe1 What the f#ck are you doing here then? You click on something that says Martin Sexton And John Mayer just to run your mouth? Get the f#ck out of here! P.S. Your original message was not in plural, so once again F- OFF !!

[TrentonJoe1]

@TrentonJoe1 I'll do what ever I want a hole.

[eminence18]

@TrentonJoe1  fag

[direwolf47]

i love to play guitar, and i love martins songs so naturally i want to play them but i don't that often because i laugh to myself when i think about even attempting to sing one. he is truly a musicians musician.

[tfast72]

If you have not seen Martin live, you have never truely heard him :) He is UNBELIEVEABLE, and a rare talent indeed...

[K9CRE8IV]

Dayum! Those boys can play and sing. Wish I'd been there.

[IamEroC]

They are both phenomenal artists, Martin is the best live performer I have ever seen,he makes you feel the music the way he does. John Mayer is an amazing artist as well I really enjoy the Trio work, I'm waiting for them to team up for a tour

[gcgormley]

Wow! Loved this! What a treat to see these two perform together. I've seen Martin Sexton four times live and he is truly talented. Can't believe more people don't know about him.

[jergs702]

I got to admit...ive seen Martin 5 times in concert and I have to say its almost spirtual....I've gone through a divorce, birth of my daughter, and a 6 month deployment to Iraq with Martin's music by my side and it truly makes me understand how love and heart ache can create perfect music. Martin is the shit and I make sure any one who hasn't heard of him does....

[aztiff]

Mayer's soloing, kinda blows

[BusDeezy]

Che voce..

[gorojo1]

Everyone rips Marty's style off.

Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, John Mayer...even Dave Mathews.

Marty has more soul than all of them combined.

[djc43077]

John Mayer, maybe. But if you think any of those others "rip off Marty's style" then you really need to clean the shit out of your ears. They're all super-talented in their own rights, and Marty deserves all the respect and credit in the world, but your claims are just absurd.

[gorojo1]

@djc43077

The type of people that think those artists are "super-talented" are usually chronic potheads that  think Phish are 'amazing', and not just ambient noise to get high to.

Mathews might be the most talented of the bunch, but he sounds too much like a Sting impersonator to take seriously.

[richiemabie]

@gorojo1- If you think phish sux who is good then? Trey is one of the best guitar players out there right now. He composes master peices! Phish is amazing. They are so different from any other act. Maybe you need to clean the shit out of your ears, it might help.

[gorojo1]

@richiemabie

Pothead right?

Phish is an un-original, mediocre, dime-a-dozen, garage band that got lucky cuz 99.9% of their audience was too stoned to think outside the weed festival

Its only about the experience and belonging. A true cult.. They attempt to pass off lack of musical discipline and original style as "improvisation", when in reality they offer nothing innovative or significant other than 'the party.'

All I give them credit for is highly effective fan marketing.

[alexbsmith]

Martin is the most talented musician todyay. This is not my opion this is fact.

[xBlueBerryCrispiix]

My best friends step dad is martin Sexton! and i see him all the time i babysit 4 his youngest

[Und3ad101]

@xBlueBerryCrispiix omg you are the luckiest person alive! thats awesome

[IOWABOY1000]

no fuckin way dude.that's awesome

[wietley]

martin rocks as always

[xBlueBerryCrispiix]

@wietley my bestfriends step dad is Martin

[greyseagirl]

What I love about John is that he understands that what you DON'T play is just as important as what you do play. He knows when to let the passage "breathe" and "bloom".

[bigrawbio]

Martin sexton > Jason Mraz. Not even fuckign close. Not even the same fucking sport.

[mallen010]

Right now download Martin Sexton's version of Purple Rain. unreal!

[marjorieb1tches]

you just got owned by martin sexton, john mayer!

[ggrych]

good stuff. alittle overkill on the solo tho

[dutch941]

Marty is perhaps the master of "overkill" ......you should hear some of his extended live versions of Gypsy Woman......I cant figure out for the life of me how he has not mainstreamed yet.......defies logic.........I remember his small local shows in Syracuse....Hes brilliant......

[dutch941]

matter of fact.....if you havent seen him live..you have to.

[waterboylogan]

@dutch941 Agreed. Life-altering.

[xx3musicislife]

straight up magical.

[CareyH316]

Both are amazing and truely talented! But I think martin's voice is better than John Mayer's.

[feetheweasel]

@CareyH316 ya think???

[Doud92]

My two fav artists rockin the house together, heavenly

[marjorieb1tches]

i support this!

[MeganSEE]

this is crazy. totally unreal and i can't believe it. perfect.

[stlmolaca]

That was just Awesome, and I don't even like John Mayer.

[MassTwingles]

SHIT! I get goosebumps watching this video every. singe. time! Just amazing....

[badongism]

I'm genuinely stuck on deciding on who is the better singer - Jason Mraz or Martin Sexton

[SkittlezGTI]

martin sexton by far

[goldenroadmike]

I am really sorry, but is this a joke???? Martin Sexton is a modern day singing and songwriting genius. Jason Mraz is a decent singer that appeals to the masses, the comparison is not even close.

[matteo19]

he was only talking about singing abilities... but Sexton has the better voice hands down

[Bdasef]

I've only heard a few of Mraz's songs to feel, IMHO, he is not in the same league as Martin Sexton - neither vocally or instrumentally, forgot soulfully, too! (BIGGIE) On the other hand, I'd have to say John Mayer is talented, but as 1 said above, he/s more marketable to the masses. Having a commercial label, which I am guessing Mayer has (?) helps in so many ways, but they they pidgeon hole you where they want you. Martin wants control & that's cool, he's doing what HE wants & it's working.

[tonehunter27]

@Bdasef You really ought to give Mraz a good fair listen. The guy is an unbeatable vocalist when you hear his live stuff; very spontaneous, and pretty flawless. Martin sings with a hell of a lot of soul too, but Jason really has something unique. I'd put them both up at the top.

[ASHSRV]

@Bdasef I agree with you, However Mayer's been with Columbia records for more than 10 years now and with that time more faith has been invested in to Mayer's work. Columbia Records now know that whatever Mayer releases will sell in mass. Therefore his next album to be released is a Folk album (sort of a throwback to the 1960's 'free wheelin' by Bob Dylan). If you look at Mayer's last two albums its obvious he's had control over their elements as he wrote recorded and co-produced them!

[79nostalgia]

Ditto!

I'm good, hate feeling restricted though. Not as mobile as I want to be.

Went to the Park in Plymouth...really nice. Was hoping not to see a certain family there...too much for me ;-)

[blancomikel]

amazing performance

[LizawithaZ]

Great video, I love both of these guys! Reminds me of some of Tom Goss' stuff.

[jacaria21]

This one of my favorite Martin Sexton songs! This performance is the sh*t!!!

[trevycoley83]

Two of the coolest white guys ever.

[LaPerssonandro]

two of the coolest people ever. What's white got to do with it (Chris Rock reference ;) I love how John shows us so much of his influences, I love all of it.

[trevycoley83]

white has nothin' to do with it, i just overdid when I wrote that but these two guys are great, didn't say that to offend.

[LaPerssonandro]

I was joking man. One of Chris Rock's jokes is "what's BLACK got to do with it!" I'm not offended, I'm Indian. I'm over race offence now. lol. Take care man. btw, thanks for the upload, amazing song.

[keacreme]

dear sweet jesus. wonderful, amazing, delicious.

[85ATN617]

epic

[balijam]

Got to give JM props for putting Sexton out front. Great video. Thanks for posting!

[GV9AI]

Love Mr. Sex...what i like to call him! Great duo..wish i had been there!

[iplaydrumsa]

Ooooooooo GIRL!!!!! I WAS THERE!!!!!

F'N AMAAAAAZING!!!!!

[angelt23]

One of the best duos I've ever heard!!!

[nicjohnson57]

It's fun to Watch Martin Sexton (who's not near as known as John Mayer, but is 10 times more original and gifted) up there. John wanks a little much, but it's cool. Martin IS your right brain. Love it!

[violindave1979]

I know man...it should be the other way around...Martin is the shit...hands down...

[richiemabie]

I am 100% a Martin Sexton fan. but to say that he is 10 times more talented than Jon Mayer is just not true, if you were to ask Martin he would tell you that

[SeanDuncanMusic]

1:51 is awesome

[crushme41dmb]

I saw them play together back in 02 when they toured together and it was awesome.

John definitely started picking up some Santana vibes around 3:40-->4:20. I felt like I was about to hear some 'black magic woman' or something like that.

[hikarijp]

I love too..

[m5mejane]

Wow!!! Yeah!!!!!

[moliisa]

I LOVE THIS

[eriqjahn]

I have been listening to Martin Sexton since I was a sophomore in college in 1998, when he was still just a local Boston/Cambridge guy.

I cant even explain how stoked I am that, finally, the rest of the world is discovering him. Thank you, internet. And thanks to you, Johnny McMayer.

[bsterling7599]

Ok, I was just in the Cinnabon, next door to my office and heard the saleperson playing Black Sheep on his laptop. I asked who that was and 30 mins later I was so excited to get back to my desk to hear more. I'm a single african-american female originally from N.O., living in ATL. And now on this date, October 22, 2008-Wednesday @ 10:48am became a true blue fan of "MARTIN SEXTON". He is truely a nobel artist and has the talent and grace to be added to my daily playlist. Thanks Mr.Cinnabon.lol.

[Jonesiegirl1]

@bsterling7599

You had me at Cinnabon.....

[pinkproductionsllc]

@bsterling7599 - Ha! Black Sheep was the first one I heard of his as well about 8 years ago, and I've been hooked ever since!

[LuciStevens]

i'm in love with this.

[vsja17]

their voices at the end really compliment each other...They should get together on an album...

[m4tthi3u]

A man once said "My life changed the day i heard Martin Sexton" and i'd say it again

[penguinxxxx]

so... you were that man?

[seashell1111]

Damn! Now i just need a cigarette...whew!

[chrissm918]

Oh my gosh, this might be my favorite John Mayer duet he's ever done...WOW, Martin Sexton can SING...

[waterboylogan]

These two just went up six trillion points in my book!!! John Mayer and Martin Sexton have been two of my favorite artists ever, but i had no idea they we fans of each other! boss!

[TheCrispenator]

such a cool song.. love that guy's voice. mayer's playing sounds like santana and clapton licks

[joeth4]

john mayor is a piece of fucking shit.. there is plenty to hate about him, for expample being a kike

[Ceeby]

What a shame that John Mayer actually speaks about his "biggest hater." What's to hate about him?

[soundlaboratorium]

Wow. Just nitty, gritty melodies.

[raypays]

We luv U Mahhhhhhhhty !

[mojogypsy]

Nice!

[bdb11980]

Very cool. Too bad John Mayer is so mainstream otherwise Marty might team up with him more often. Big thanks for posting that - must've been a helluva show.

[amywigton]

About 15 years ago I first saw Martin sing around a campfire at the Kerrwood Music Festival, and you can imagine how blown away I was!! Martin is one of the BEST artists out there!!! John Mayer you rock both in music and taste!

[jgossage]

It was the Kerrville Music Festival,I was there too! Great music and people

[boomdeay8]

I go crazy if I don't see martin perform at least once a year, and in recent times I've become a Mayer fan. He does some really great stuff these days. I always hope Martin will play this song at live shows, so this whole thing is a real treat.

[dippitydoo]

Classy move by John. They should do more together.

[agittins123]

Martin is one of the best live performers of all time, period.

[meribizarre]

I love both Martin and John and I am SO entirely happy to have seen this. Thank you SO much for sharing.

[pkeigan]

Brings back fantastic memories of Martin's raw and powerful vocal ability...thanks for posting!

[irrit8in]

mayer is damn right because he has great taste in music!

[projectlost1]

I had the honor of playing with Martin 12 years ago, and to this day, that is still undoubtedly my favorite song of his.

[joflow]

Fan-friggin-tastic

[soggythesurfclown]

Wow that guys is amazing!
