"I don't follow formulas and yet my music works because I know how to blend all the right sounds." Martin is curently recording his 3rd album that mixes the blues with his current elclectic electronic sound, " Its really hard to capture everything you're about on an album, so I just concentrate on what I'm interested in at the time I'm writing. I'm getting back to my roots as a guitar player on album #3."
