One of the great blues fiddle players, Carl Martin has been unfairly left out of most conventional histories of the blues. This collection should put the record straight. Sixteen killer cuts, covering Martin's own songs, such as the inimitable title track, and various eclectic covers, ranging from "Corrina, Corrina" to the folk standard "John Henry." The artist's range is fabulous and his voice and fiddle playing are unique and amazingly accomplished. Crow Jane Blues is an exemplary collection from a significantly underrated artist. ~Thomas Ward
