Now with his second CD, Underground Blues (2009), an acoustic collection of Delta inspired originals, Marty continues to hone his original blend of acoustic Blues improvisations with traditional roots. Together with fellow Henry Gray and the Cats band member, Andy Cornett, (who plays Harmonic on two tracks) Christian performs regularly in the South and beyond - honoring the great Blues masters who came before ? not in repetition but in continuing their tradition of blending the old sounds with new ones ? making songs that can never really be repeated from show to show
