Traditional, pure, country, a la Merle Haggard. Well-crafted songs delivered by one of the best voices in country music today: Leland Martin.
Editorial review
Leland Martin's release on IGO Records is an accurate reflection of the singer's roots and musical influences. Simply Traditional is everything its title professes, with enough character to please the younger generation of country fans. The cuts prove that Martin knows what it takes to write a clever song, as with "If I Had Long Legs (Like Alan Jackson)," with its impressive weaving of top-name country stars in its lyric. Martin's "More Than Friends" will choke up even the coldest of the cold. The acoustic version of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" is hauntingly spiritual and the bonus Christmas tracks are original, though a bit mismatched with the rest of the CD. From beginning to end, Martin pays tribute to traditional country with sincere vocals, the cry of the fiddle and steel, and songs about the legends, including a guest appearance by Freddie Hart. Hopefully the folks on music row and country radio will stand up and take notice of this rising star. ~ Rick Cohoon, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
An experienced artist, songwriter, and performer, Leland Martin has made an impact on the country music scene. The voice is uniquely Leland's, but it sounds hauntingly familiar. He writes songs that sound deceptively simple on first listen, but closer examination reveals genuine craftsmanship. The material is varied, fresh, new and alive, but his Missouri stubbornness refuses to let go of what he knows to be true country music.
Leland's country roots go back to his dad, a great singer and player in his own right, as was his grandmother, Nellie. From an early age, singing in family bands, Leland learned that traditional country music stirred something inside an audience, something they could relate to. The opportunity to perform inspired his songwriting, causing him to write from his heart and soul, in hopes of touching people with his words and music the way his heroes, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Hank Williams, and George Jones did.
