Artist description "now this guy's a freak." Kathy Reynolds, Singer/songwriter/guitarist. * * * * * "Gray Martin is a bluesman in the truest sense of the word. Humble, tasteful, understated.

Marc Alex Ryan, guitarist/composer/recording artist. * * * * * "Gray is a true blues man,with some 40 thousand tunes to his credit. He just wrote a tune while you read that last line.

Robby James Rabuck, guitarist/recording Artist. * * * * * "FEATURED ARTIST: This time Friday travels down the mighty Mississip to the great state of Louisiana - in the city of Monroe - to find our featured artist: Gray Martin. Gray is a true gentleman, a true guistarist and a true bluesman. His repetoire spans the gamut from rock to blues to love songs. We at JVRMW are indeed blessed to have Gray as both a friend and a fellow musician/guitarist/singer/songwriter." Scott Bakalar (JVRMW Friday coast2coast2coast), guitarist/singer/songwriter from Ohio. * * * * * "I think this guy is the king of expressive ditty guitar playing.

Press Reviews "Just want to give Gray some kudos for an awesome CD!! Good tunes and fabulous guitar work that is creative, interesting, and so very smooth!! This whole CD is great to listen to... and I've got to say that my favorites are "Nothin' But Freaks...", "25 Beers", & "OUT OF TIME". "Matters" passes my "Listen to in the truck on my daily commute without going totally 'Type A' on anybody" test with flying colors!!" TallLankyBastyd, Guitarist/songwriter...
