Quotes: “Phenomenal” Rick Wakeman CBE

“Martin is equally skilled on guitar, on vocals and as writer. The voice is distinctive- the crystalline purity and range of a Kate Bush, the depth and delicacy of a Sandy Denny. And the songs to which she applies them stand up with any of her peers. The chord sequence of the title track evokes Joni Mitchell’s Hejira album.”
Trevor Raggatt, RnR Magazine.

" It’s pretty obvious from the moment you hear Carrie Martin sing that she is an utstanding vocalist with passion in each breath. Don't be too sidetracked by that voice and stage persona and well-crafted songs, because you might just miss the fact that she is a fine guitar player as well!” Gordon Giltrap
