Press Reviews "Now and again you stumble across a shiny gem. This is definitely one." - Folk Roots Magazine, June 2001 - "It comes as no surprise that songwriter Terence Martin is also a poet. Martin's songs are poetic in structure, sketching out pointed observations of the world around him." - Dirty Linen, August 2001 - "There is so much good writing on Waterproof that one is tempted to seek out lines here and there, and collect and savor them, picking out favorites." - Richard Cuccaro, Acoustic Live in NYC - "A collection of beautiful songs, fascinating from beginning to end." - Rootstown Music Magazine, Belgium - "You won’t need a lyric sheet to be compelled by this artist, who paints vivid pictures in words and music. This is a full-length, ready-to-go CD that makes a deep impression via Martin’s breathy, bassy voice, simple-yet-effective melodies and tasteful arrangements, especially on “Waterproof,” and “Orphanage Trees." This is grown-up, high-calibre stuff." - MUSIC CONNECTION MAGAZINE, February 2001 - "Waterproof is very well done and is a nice follow-up to Martin's first CD, Division Street.Among the current crop of singer/songwriters, Terence Martin is a real find." - Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange - "A finely crafted series of elegant, shimmering soundscapes…" - Newark Star Ledger - " Rich, dark and polished, like a fine piece of furniture." - MusicDish - Terence Martin has a great acoustic/folk/pop style that leaves you breathless after just the first few songs. Terence creates a tapestry of great imagery with his music. You can almost see your version of the video in your mind. The acoustic guitar seems to reach out and grab a hold of you, while the subtle background instruments create a fill that makes the music seem larger than life. I'm always happy to review music of this quality. Terence Martin has that tone of voice that pulled me into each song. I've reviewed a lot of folk music over the years, but I can't think of anyone who I simply loved to listen to more than this music and this artist. If you're an Americana/Folk style music fan, this is definitely an album that will not disappoint. - Michael Allison , THEGLOBALMUSE.COM - “I can’t get Waterproof out of my CD players, and it’s likely to end up my favorite album of the year.” - Jeffrey Gill, Folk Image -
