Description Who is THIS martin luther? Every so often, in the midst of countless records that basically sound the same, a breath of fresh air rolls around. A glimmering light sometimes explodes through the dark seas of redundant and over-recycled music. And sometimes, when we need it most, we find a pop and cultural movement that transcends music to a higher level. Music extraordinaire, Martin Luther is now being called one of music's next big movements. Exactly where do you fit an artist that can belt out a gospel hymn that will make you catch the holy ghost, strike the chords of a guitar like Edward Lodewijk Van Halen and pen a hit reminiscent of Earth, Wind & Fire, Prince and Sly & The Family Stone all rolled into one? The answer is both nowhere and everywhere. The truth of the matter is that Martin Luther is just one bad-ass artist who doesn't neatly fit into any one particular category. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsMARTIN LUTHER...KING...OR PRINCE? Neil Sol | Los Angeles, California United States | 12/02/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Ahh, and here we're offered up another guitarist with Jimi and Prince on their mind. Nice. This cat comes fully loaded, even doing a stint as The Roots guitarist for a hot second. A very nice 2nd offering from this brotha. Standout cuts are "Daily Bread", "Lust" the rock infested "Rebel Soul Music", "Ms. American", the clever "NYCG", and "Muse Sick Dreamz." A very solid CD to add to your collection." Barnes and Noble Review B. Wilson | Berkeley, CA USA | 09/25/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "The San Francisco Bay Area has long been a hotbed of R&B and hip-hop-talent, from Sly Stone to Raphael Saadiq to the Hieroglyphics rap crew. Joining the prestigious hit list is Martin Luther, a singer, songwriter, and musician who was named after the civil rights activist. On his stellar sophomore disc, Rebel Soul Music -- the follow-up to his overlooked debut, The Calling -- Luther follows in the tradition of Jimi Hendrix and Lenny Kravitz by eschewing genre lines to create a distinct blend of funk, rock, and soul. This is especially evident on the politically charged "Ms. America." Backed by fierce guitar licks, Luther spins a tale of an America that does not promise liberty and justice for all. Similarly, he pays homage to his hometown on the melancholy "No Place Like Home," on which Luther depicts the seedier side of a city better known for the picturesque Golden Gate Bridge and the bohemian Haight Street. Slowing down the tempo, Luther showcases his softer side on the melodic and uplifting "Rise," which serves as a wake-up call to a generation lost: "What's happening, little brother / Are you still getting by / On the corner everyday, you like the pay / Are you still getting high?" A member of the Roots' okayplayer family, Luther does what few of his contemporaries have successfully done: He offers an informative and entertaining mix of social commentary and boundary-pushing music. - Rashaun Hall" This CD is bad as H***!! Jmip | NYC, USA | 03/25/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Okay, I am not going to write a state of the art review here. I don't need to, for those who have commented on this CD prior to me have done it justice! Plain and simple, this cd is BAD AS HELL!(there, I said it!) Talent on top of talent! I picked it up because I heard Martin Luther's "The I.R.S." on "Rock 'N' Roll Reparations, The Black Rock Coalition continues 20 years of collecting" (another fantastic compilation, by the way)that said, I had NO idea that this CD was going to be this good! Buy it, don't sleep on it! The influences are many, from Gil Scott Heron, EWF, Parliament to Confunkshun, Jimi Hendrix, The Isley Brothers, Fishbone and hundreds more including Hiphop, punk, jazz and then some. I suggest you take a listen to the snippets to wet your appetite, then wait anxiously to receive your copy. You'll be quite satisfied, of this I am certain! I truly hope this becomes mainstay in the future of rock/soul/music."
