Home Of The Brave by Martha Redbone

Perfect blend of the old and new”, while Music Connection wrote “An ingenious aural tapestry”, others have enthused “Superstardom might not be too far for Redbone, so obviously ready for the limelight. Smart and strikingly tight, Home Of The Brave is original and delightful.” BlueCoupe “This record basically came out of thin air and blew the many fine efforts also waiting for a review out of the proverbial water. The words and vocal intonation are so pure and open that this record really belongs in a higher class than most that come across my desk”, IndieMusic “The future of funk and soul” NYRock, “Makes your eyes sparkle, your hips move and a slow lazy smile creep across your face.” Dayton Impact Weekly “A diagram of the American dream, infused with equal parts folksy guitar strum, Hendrix swagger and Stevie Wonder funk..It will be unjust if this isn’t Redbone’s final area appearance as an unknown rather than a superstar” Pittsburgh City Paper

Her live show is described as “Nothing less than spectacular…scintillating, mind blowing, music expanding songs…clearly in a league of her own.” Amsterdam News, “Redbone’s performances are nonstop high-energy affairs featuring soulful Big Sky vocals and ecstatic dancing seasoned by the tightest, funkiest band imaginable. “ News From Indian Country “. In our opinion Martha Redbone deserves Alicia Keys level success. She has the deep funk to back up her soul queen image and live she brings a groove heavy power-house of a band” Time Out NY
