Track 1 on the EP.  A heady slice of estuary blues.  Not the Thames, the Clyde.  The Pretty Things visit Dr Feelgood to get sorted.

Laburnum Way

Track 2 on the EP.  Folk rock as rough as any Neil Young but Hank Marvin sits in on the solo.  Sorry, Neil.

It Seems

Track 3. This evolved from a country track to something Jeff Beck may have done after the Yardbirds.  Instead he did "Hi Ho Silver Lining", poor lad.

Evolution

Track 4.  A folk song about a life free of trouble.  Troggs when Reg Presley liked the other guys.

Ramblin'

Marthasville seem to come from roots which are pre-psychedelic.  The years 1964-67 were very fruitful in pop history mixing everything from blues, soul, folk, jazz and rock n roll and taking it on to new ground.  This is a place worth going back to and re-discovering. 

The four musicians - Kevin, Brian, Ally and Joe - share common tastes which seem to reflect these times.  At times the singer and guitarist would like blues, folk and rock while the rhythm section had a taste for jazz and soul.  So it is with Marthasville and maybe just a hint of those times comes through in these songs.  We hope like us you enjoy The Beatles, Stones, Who, Kinks, Them, Pretty Things, Troggs,  Bob Dylan, Stax, Motown, Atlantic artists and all the plethora of music from that era.
