Martin Sexton "Seeds"
Produced by Martin Sexton & Crit Harmon

Seeds is Sexton’s first studio record in seven years. On the one hand, it is true to Sexton’s tight road show—he’s backed just by organ, bass, drums and vocals. On the other hand, the tracks are wildly varied, littered with Sexton’s own banjo, whistles, percussion, jug bass, and keyboards. Generally, it’s a joyous affair—a celebration of the great breadth of US music as it is found in churches, streets, neighborhoods, and alleyways. It’s rock music the way it used to be 30 or more years ago: eclectic and somewhat ragged, like a closet full of great old costumes that all fit. Sexton wears them all with practiced ease and passion.
