Jeff Martin is very talented, but this isn't what i'd call his best work. The first track on this cd sounds far too much like The Tea Party and it's somewhat pretentious as it's supposed to be an "open" letter to president Bush. We'll have to wait for his 2nd solo effort for that open letter to Kim Jong-il and the other dictators of the world. The rest of the tracks are mainly blues based music that sound like jimmy page leftovers from his zeppelin days. If you really want to hear Jeff Martin at his best, check out his work with The Tea Party which is probably the best band you've never heard.
