mjlaverty54 I came across Jeffrey Martin while browsing through Bandcamp. I liked the cover art so I listened to the entire record. Lots of really good songs here. I like the whole feel on this record. I’m now a huge fan.

dthompsthirty2 It's tough to pick a favorite track off this album, but there's something about Hard Year that cuts deeper than the rest. I spent many days driving in and out of the Catskill mountains and this album was my compass. Favorite track: Hard Year.

Hide your face from the howling wind No more crying out Pick up your gun, leave those you love Learn to jump at the sound Go bleed overseas, don’t forget to bleed proud You are a man now You are a man now You are a man now Go on back to the house the made you Try to burn it down Go out walking in your daddy’s shoes They are your shoes now Feel the weight of the fist that hit you It’s your fault somehow Because you are a man now You are a man now You are a man now Build a castle with walls so thick You will never be found Take a wife and have some kids Never open your mouth Go and do like your daddy did Grow old and shut down You are a man now You are a man now You are a man now

living in the city feels like crying in the rain until you learn how to scream everybody looks the same I'm gonna empty my pockets for a mountain bound train write a song and meet a girl along the way Come on fast train speed it up I want to get out to where I haven't been oh poor boy don't you know it's the slow road that's gonna catch the wind She left me standing there with my eyes on fire I found the wind when I fell upon her lips She ran hard and fast into the night Saying shame on you for being afraid of this Come on fast train speed it up I want to find out where my heart landed Oh poor boy don’t you know it’s buried inside of you right where you left it I’ve seen angry people hiding their faces in the dark Spitting words like stones they’d built around their hearts And there were children with the broken eyes of old men Because their child eyes had been stolen from them Come on fast train speed it up I want to find out if God exists Oh poor boy don’t you know it’s the hands of man that have ruined this The world’s as small as a stone I can hide it under my hands But it’s too heavy to hold for all I don’t understand And it’s as empty as this heart I’ve yet to know But it’s what I don’t have that keeps me coming around for more Come on fast train speed it up I want to get out to where the grass is green Oh poor boy don’t you know it’s only as green as you believe

You don’t remember makin all those plans But I do You don’t remember promising to never do it again But I do Now you’re down on your knees one more time And I don’t know where to draw the line And this house that we built is up in smoke But I don’t know how to let you go I don’t know how to let you go You don’t remember all you take from me But I do You don’t remember the poison that you speak But I do Now you’re down on your knees one more time And I don’t know where to draw the line And this house that we built is up in smoke But I don’t know how to let you go I don’t know how to let you go Oh I’m buried under water Holding breath for me and you I wasn’t made to carry another I’m gonna get away You don’t remember how you used to hold me But I do You don’t remember the quiet things you told me But I do Now you’re down on your knees one more time And I don’t know where to draw the line And this house that we built is up in smoke But I don’t know how to let you go I don’t know how to let you go

The Corners 03:09
I built you a boat to get around And we laughed so we didn't have to hear the sound Of the water as it came in Of the water as it came in I don't know what it is about this heart of mine A lighting bolt off the starting line But I lose it in the corners every time, every time I lose it in the corners every time, every time, every time I made sure my words were made of gold What I could not afford, I stole But all that's borrowed is old All that's borrowed is old I don't know what it is about this heart of mine A lighting bolt off the starting line But I lose it in the corners every time, every time I lose it in the corners every time, every time, every time

I am bleeding at the knuckles but I want more My head is pounding but I want more I want to sing until the world stands still I want to play until I am younger still It’s a simple thing, it’s a simple thing I saw you at the park with your hair You didn’t know that I was there I dreamed about you and me getting married And having kids, and having kids It’s a simple thing, but it’s all that there is I know that I am difficult to see I’ve got worlds buried down inside of me But I say wait love In 50 years we’ll have all that we need I am a grower of trees, I am a grower of trees Can you wait for me

about

Dogs in the Daylight is an ambitious 15 track collection that is full of weight and intricacy. While the new album is bigger than his previous albums, complete with piano, bass, fiddle, drums, and even trumpet, the songs are still largely carried by Jeffrey's voice and the sincerity of this songwriting - the very qualities that separate him from his peers.

"Dogs in the Daylight is as close to a masterpiece as a folk album by an emerging singer-songwriter can get" – NoDepression

"observational and piercingly honest while retelling stories of glory and defeat, much like watching the fall foliage blaze out and drift to the ground" - Adobe and Teardrops

"It's tough to pinpoint exactly what it is that sets certain singer/songwriters apart from other singer/songwriters, other than the thoroughness with which their songs turn your guts inside out. And by that measure, Martin is way ahead of the pack" – Portland Mercury

"It'll give you shivers" - The Bluegrass Situation
