Pretty spectacular. I listen mostly to hip hop but this is excellent (and I love Jimi Hendrix). You can tell he loves the music and is into it. The voice inflections are cool too.
I had never heard of him until watching this video, but he is awesome. Wonderful vocalist and very, very talented on acoustic guitar. Plays with no pick and gets all kinds of tones and timbres. The scat sung solo was brilliant. Being an acoustic player myself, this was a real demonstration video for me. I'm blown away by this guy.
@FenderMannen This is so true. There is something extra with this guy, hard to describe it. If you listen to the VLOG on the lake when he does the Beatles song, its just Marty, his fam and his guitar in the middle of a lake and he lights that water on fire all by himself...amazing!
Dude you caught me off guard @ 1.20. SUPER!! I covered the song but I'm not a picker... perhaps I should work up your version for my show. Just great. All the best your way!! Sherrill I'm goin front side to sub you. Totally impressed. Sherrill
I really enjoyed this version.....awesome. I also have a cover of this on youtube but feel like taking it of after listening to this ...great...P.S. I thougt about doing that style solo for a long time....made me laugh my ass of
Saw him live a couple of weeks ago at the Leaf Spring Festival in NC.... he is joyfully amazing... drive where ever you have to to see him live.. you'll be glad you did!!
Martin Sexton is right up there with Cash, Nelson and Kristofferson in my life and the one of the most amazing artist of all time, Live Wide Open is so dam strong, my heart rate always takes off when listening. I love my artist from Edith to Cash, but Sexton hits home like Cash does for me, so dam right on.
Keep singing please, I saw you many times and just to name a few, Telluride was beautiful with you singing in the mountains, and Chicago was simply amazing.
nice sentiment, but he knows what we might know- that being 'famous' robs you of what you truly love. This guy makes it all his own and he loves what he does..... it is a gift to witness it.
Martin is the Cats Ass! He's the Left Nut! He's All That AND A Bag Of Chips! I've got all of his his CD's and three times as many boot shows. Hey Matrin, if your out there, when are you going to release a DVD of one or 10 of your shows?
It's not fair that people don't know this guy. This is living proof that the music industry knows nothing about music. If I had half the talent.......
A man at one with the song, perfect!

@mfergy514 I think he's referring to the vocal guitar solo. Marty's face does look very silly when he's doing that.
Still... the leap from Jack Black to Sexton is like making the leap from Jason Arulo to Imogen Heap
