Gear Daddy Grows Up

"I've had a soft spot in my heart for Martin Zellar ever since seeing the Gear Daddies my first time in 1990. He is a singer that will captivate you. I don't think his songwriting has ever been able to match his intensity as a singer, but that is not unusual. This is my favorite album of his that I own. "George and Tammy" is a heartbreaking ballad of apology and "Haunt My Dreams" is a rocker that highlights the fine quality of his backing band, The Hardways. This album is not a departure at all for Zellar but clearly shows a maturity both in content and sound from the Gear Daddies and his first solo album 'Born Under'."

The best yet!

"From his early days with the Gear Daddies, Martin has taken his old school ways and twisted them into something that is magical. The albums lyrics are deep, but not too deep that you cannot relate. This album has a great sound, and is always in the cd changer at home. If your a true fan you will not be disappointed at all. Martin is as real as ever, and does not care what the rest of the world thinks of his music, or who they think would do his music better. He is the greatest ever, and there will never be another writer who will touch me the way that he does."
