Moon Martin - The Very Best Of (1999)@flac
One of the more curious characters of the new wave movement, singer/guitarist/songwriter Moon Martin issued several critically acclaimed yet commercially underappreciated releases from the late 1970s through the early '80s before reappearing in the mid-'90s.
Best known for penning ROBERT PALMER's toughest hit BAD CASE OF LOVING YOU and MINK DEVILLE's cult classic CADILLAC WALK, nerdy looking new waver MOON MARTIN had a way with a wry, twisted lyric. Even album titles like SHOTS FROM A COLD NIGHTMARE and ESCAPE FROM DOMINATION evoked dark, vivid imagery. MARTIN dished out sinewy axe licks and oddball high-pitched vocals on the chugging ROLENE (his only TOP 40 hit), skin-tingling sweat-fest HOT NITE IN DALLAS, and painkiller ballad NO CHANCE. VERY BEST reels off a volley of power poppin' shotgun blasts from his peak period seventies platters, tempered by a less acerbic set of eighties material.
This is slick, catchy stuff delivered by a hook heavy hellcat...it's a shame more people weren't exposed to these lunar samples. (urbanaspirines.blogspot.com)
