K.K.Martin / Press

“I have complete and total admiration for K.K. Martin and his music. I have also had the privilege and honor to interview K.K. Martin. He is one classy, laid back and very down to earth guy. The same goes for his music. Classy, laid back, down to earth, pure hand-cut blues. His style of Artist simply does not come any better - PERIOD!! His ‘Naked Blues Vol. II’ is an absolute must hear for anyone who appreciates great lyrics and great music!!”

David Mobley - The Songwriters Webcast

““Naked Blues Volume II - the latest offering from blues guitarist K.K. Martin is a modest, intimate recording that boasts all of the virtues that are associated with the rustic, acoustic variety of blues music. Martin’s smoky howl and dexterity on the six strings take center stage here. Without the flash of a brass section, the tinkling of a piano or the backing of a rhythm section, Nakes Blues Volume II is as naked as they come.””

Brian Lush - ROCKWIRED Radio Show

““My choice for MVP of the day is K.K. Martin…this man lives to play the blues, if you can’t feel it when you see him live, you might be dead. You’ll be seeing more KK on Ameriblues pages you can be sure.””

AMERICAN BLUES NEWS

““With the first cut ‘Rattlesnake Shake‘, a cover of the Peter Green tune, Mr. Martin revels the true nature of this song with some slithering slide guitar and gritty ‘c’est la vie’ vocals that reiterate the inevitable outcome of shakin’ that rattlesnake. What the listener will get from this release is the authentic true feel of acoustic blues played by a man whose love of the music coupled his own superior talent and confidence shine through, and in doing so make for one compelling release that will appeal to hard core Blues fans as well as the new members of our congregation.””

BLUES 411

““One of America’s true, blues traditional players….plays as clean as anyone I know…on this latest CD, K.K. runs the gamut of bone-chilling voices. Just listen to "Alligator Wine". His performance on that song ranks with any blues performance I have heard lately. K.K.'s vocal chops have got to make you smile.””
