In fact, it\u2019s sometimes impossible to discern which sounds are created by wood or brass, and which come from his own pipes. But hovering humbly in the background of this joyful m\u00e9lange is the satisfying pluck of Sexton\u2019s solid fingerstyle guitar playing, honed during many years busking in Boston. It lends an affectionate authority to \u201cShane,\u201d a collection of advice to his infant son, and a bawdy energy to \u201cBoom Sh-Boom.\u201d In between, his guitar work helps connect the dots among musical influences from gospel to blue-eyed soul, creating a sound that\u2019s all his own. \u2013 KD<\/p>\n<div><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MARTIN SEXTON Sugarcoating [KTR] On his eighth studio album, Sugarcoating, folk singer-songwriter Martin Sexton employs his impressive baritone in such a range of vocal tricks that you\u2019d be forgiven for forgetting about his guitar prowess.
