to Cover
Artist: Martyn Joseph Label: Pipe Records Martyn Joseph has been dropping covers alongside the strength of his own songs during gigs for years. Mostly he chooses politically provocative preaches and thus there is no surprise to see Dylan’s Chimes Of Freedom, Leonard Cohen’s Anthem and Bruce Cockburn’s Call It Democracy. Larry Norman’s American Novel sounds fresher than ever thirty years on and Joseph adds Aids and Iraq to the lyric. Springtseen, Sting And U2 tell you that he is a forty something singer but these are timeless songs done without fanciness or veneer. Passionate performance is Joseph’s trademark and the spittle of righteous anger should have adorned the cover. Perhaps the only criticism is the breadth of subject matter. A state of the union address in song. Steve Stockman 2/17/2005
