Press Reviews Audio Files: In our own back yardBy GINA VIVINETTO © St. Petersburg Times, published January 21, 2001 MARTIN & RAMSEY, LET'S GO TO FLORIDA (http://www.chachamusic.com) Guitarist Charles Martin and bassist Mike Ramsey of Seminole have crafted a disc about running away from it all -- to the Sunshine State. And boy, on Let's Go to Florida, the duo makes a case for the allure of our state's "palm trees and promises." (Other titles: Condoland, Another Day in Paradise, Afternoon Shower.) This is all-original Southern folk rock with Martin's folksy delivery -- hinting of his idol Bob Dylan -- harmonies and lean instrumentation. Martin's guitar pickin' is dandy, and his harmonica adds charm to songs such as the wry Made It to the Top. The moral of the story? Success ain't all it's cracked up to be. This city slicker is being beckoned back home. Martin & Ramsey capture it with humor and insight.
