Reviews of Eddie Martin’s Big Red Radio
“Absolutely Superb” BBC Radio 2
“Eddie Martin is one of the more interesting characters and performers on the UK blues scene, equally adept in a one-man-band, folk-blues, electric blues or even a big band blues setting. This set brings all those elements together,.. plenty of excellent slide guitar work and call-and-response vocals. .. outstanding ” R2
