"Vince Martin's 'If The Jasmine...' is a folk-rock monster. It soars with elegance and passion with an improvised, almost jazz-like feel...not unlike Martin's buddy Fred Neil, only with a beautiful high tenor instead of deep bass. It's a very mysterious record. The first ten times I listened to it, it kinda just blew over me and I didn't know what was going on. I'm still trying to figure it out. The Nashville session band is well oiled from Dylan's 'Nashville Skyline' and you can tell they're on a wave of some kind. Awesome. Premium engineering as well."

"Vince Martin is one of those forgotten greats who deserves a new audience. The first track on this album is haunting but bright and joyous, like some kind of angel that appears in the night. Even my cynical boyfriend glammed onto this song the second time hearing it. "Summerwind" is gorgeous and strange --- heart-beaty, a bit jazzy and experimental in the line of Tim Buckley's "Happy Sad." Martin has a high, strange, gritty, soaring voice, absolutely pure in its emotional intensity.



Fred Neil was in the control room during the recording of this album, alone a ponderable happenstance.
