John "Moon" Martin earned his recording contract the old fashioned way; he duked it out in several unsuccessful bands (even releasing albums with a group called Southwind), got his songs placed with prominent artists, and finally found his moment. Unfortunately, he never got the huge break his songs were worthy of. Street Fever contains some of his best songs in one setting.Martin's interesting style, sort of a New-Wave Buddy Holly with rockabilly leanings and a keen sense of pop is at its best when he leans towards his Buddy Holly pop/rock, like "Signal For Help." Martin also self-produced (with Warren Dewey), and his backing band The Ravens were tight as always.Alas, the album sold less than its predecessor, lacking a hit single like "Rolene." All of Martin's albums are hook-laden and filled with good songs. Info from the cool blog: ratb0y69.blogspot

Brought back memories. I was 27 and working in the ND oilfields. Damn fine tunes by Moon.

I discovered Moon Martin way back in '77-'78. Yes, far too underrated. Your posting is very much appreciated. Thank you for the effort.
