"Martha Ann is a little bit country, a lot of folk, along with a healthy mix of blues and Americana. She has much respect for many genres of music and it shows in her songwriting. She pulls from all kinds of experiences in her life, people she meets, and phrases she hears. She can seriously tell a story in her songs and it was fun to hear her tell the stories behind the music. The one that may have hit me the most was an unbelievable song that she wrote called, "Dead or Alive" that left me in awe. She is truly a great talent."
