Martin Sexton "Glory Bound"

[@ericcrook1585]

Martin Sexton is a LEGEND.

[@Bennylanders]

Lyrics to Glory bound Freedom came my way that night Just like a jet plane In and out of sight I was hauling ass at a million miles an hour Wondering how hard I'd hit When they came into the station They said I was bad beyond repair But I got no qualms with my situation Say here I am So say cheri cheri won't you dare to Say cheri cheri won't you dare to Leave a message and your number please Tie them up all my old fantasies Put them in a big red bow and send them care of me I'm taking a chance on the wind I'm packing all my bags Taking a mistake I gotta make Then I'm glory bound So I packed it up and I went to the winds And I lived out of a VW bus for a year or two Ain't nothing but a pipe dream and my guitar Livin off of apple fields and old cigars Diggin this microphone checking it out every night all alone The car battery is dead again so I got my head dead set against it So say cheri cheRI won't you dare to Say cheri cheri won't you dare to Leave a message and your number please Take the time to want to satisfy me Take all those fantasies and send them care of me I'm taking a chance on the wind I'm packing all my bags Taking a mistake I gotta make Then I'm glory bound

All round class musician. Anyone who dislikes this wouldn't know a good time if it sat on their face and wriggled.

[@andywise2031]

Hahahaha! Don't call me Chester! You call me Chester one more time, you'll go home with a dent in your forehead!

[@cpg8000]

Well said !

[@oskikevin]

Martin Sexton is a treasure. Nothing out there like him. Just amazing.

[@Katmontgomery]

+oskikevin Great word for Martin..."treasure" I totally agree!

[@jl8138]

Just one of the damnedest live performances on KZbin. Long live Sexton.

[@Ohsage1111]

I never miss my dear Martin when he comes to town!!! Always moving, inspiring, uplifting and heart flying. So grateful to have this talent to enjoy during my lifetime.

[@tammylynn8516]

LOVE Marty...headed out the door right now to go see him in Vineland, NJ tonight ..he IS a PURE talent...well said, Nathan!!

[@Tatianalh76]

I was lucky enough to go to one of his concerts and it was AMAZING. He's the best musician out there and love that he's not "commercial" at all.... he's a poet and you can tell he loves what he does...

[@pinguinobc]

This is one of the greatest songs ever written.

[@49560]

The best part of this video is the fact that the audience actually shuts up and doesn't ruin the performance like every other Martin video on youtube. Please plug into a soundboard Marty and give us some good live stuff to watch!

[@nathanjohnsonpt]

In an age when most music bought, sold and broadcast is as produced/processed as high fructose corn syrup, and major record labels have Monsanto-like control over the industry, Martin Sexton defines "organic". Help decrease type II musical diabetes and listen to more Sexton. raw. pure. talent. His music is beneficial for life long consumption without the side-effects of engineered loops and auto-tuning. I don't care how many people know about him or don't; how popular he is or isn't. He's good.

[@bschultz44]

This song is like a well of inspiration for me. I come back every time I think about hangin it up musically.

[@DanceFanAZ]

Best Live SEXton on here! Thank you for posting this.

[@cpittella]

incredible: gives me the goosebumps: he speaks and it's music -- no effort needed for melodies.

[@trudygillis5933]

We have seen him many times and many times is not enough. love and peace

[@dsutkin]

Outstanding talent..... 1 man, 1 guitar..... no hiding. Beautiful song, beautiful musician.

[@jwkoelker]

Gah, he's so damn good it's not funny. If I'm down this guy puts me in a good place. When I'm up, he brings me higher.

[@hogchief]

If blood was music, it would course through Martin's entire being. Never have I encountered so much talent as watching and listening to him live. Pure musical magic!

[@kmargoles]

I first saw Martin playing at the Porter Square subway station in Cambridge, Mass in the 90's. He was always good in an unassuming way.

[@phatgringo]

A song to end an old life and being a new to. Truly one of my top 10 songs- for now and forever.

[@siyuntz]

This came up over drinks tonight: what is the best concert you've ever been to? I said Leonard Cohen, because I will never get that chance again, but... Martin Sexton, in terms of pure jaw-dropping talent. I went alone, because I could not convince any of my friends, who'd never heard of him, to go. Aladdin Theater, Portland, Oregon, circa 2003 or 4.

[@Doud92]

Martin Sexton is a pure genius, he deserves the success of The Beatles, I'm not kidding

[@BrendaMarie68]

I used to see Martin live before he became big- he used to play our local coffee houses. He's ALWAYS been an amazingly talented guy!

[@footesner07]

I seriously can't stop listening to this song!

[@montanaredsky6704]

One of the greatest singers of all time!!!

[@blobby135]

Wow. I love Chris Trapper just as much as Martin Sexton, and I think he's equally underrated too.

[@MarkoTaxman]

Just...incredible. One of the purest and most beautiful voices one can experience in this genre.

[@danyboy78113]

I could listen to the intro all day long.

[@rachmonte]

One of my favs. Music elevated to art.

[@acousticnicki]

Thanks for posting such a fantastic live video of this! I saw Martin & Chris Trapper play an outdoor show during that same tour, but no duet like this. Cheers!

[@MassTwingles]

Okay, Chris Trapper is a talented singer/songwriter in his own right, not creepy at all! Get educated a little people! He and Martin are friends and tour together quite often. I love Chris and Martin singing together.

[@grnoodleman]

I nominate this as the greatest Martin Sexton vid on youtube. This is really great quality and an AMAZING performance. Thanks!

[@HFRI5]

your right, that is Chris Trapper. Saw him and Martin Sexton in Winnipeg last month. Great show, just amazing.

[@Rachelmariaaa]

This audience is all a musician could wish for

[@vtwinemedia]

Good stuff always comes back around... I felt my blood levels getting low, and found this vid. Still has the same power it did that night.

[@hippyneonoutsider]

Chris Trapper is amazing in this song, he makes it so much better if that could ever happen! i Can't hear this song without the harmonies he adds here. Wish they were a little louder though. the last 20 seconds of this song is what i love about music!

[@balijam]

Saw this guy sooo many years ago at High Sierra Music Fest. He was the definite highlight and there was mucho talent too. Seen him twice now at the Filmore in SF and he was awesome...did some great guitar simulation on vocals with the mic...incredible! Not nearly known enough out West.

[@Rachelmariaaa]

THIS VOICE..............especially in the beginning

[@ou82kitkats]

Best version ever!!

[@zeepbellen14]

really great song- ....... I often find myself hitting repeat over and over just so I can sing along over and over.

[@stevehermann892]

One great song and performer!

[@mikewilcock5772]

It's Chris Trapper singing with him!! He wrote some of the music from the movie "August Rush" including the theme of the movie song "This Time" He's excellent as well, check him out!

[@SandyCuse]

"Glory Bound" .. such a classic Martin Sexton fave of mine! And several of you who have posted are correct in that the 'guy' standing beside Martin is, in fact, Chris Trapper, an amazing singer/songwriter, who coincidentally is opening for Martin tonight (10/17) at The Strand Theatre in Rockland, ME...if you get an opportunity to check out Chris with or without Martin..trust me..you will not be disappointed! ROCK ON..Martin and Chris...Peace and love from Syracuse..

[@ryanfiskewold9682]

I'm sure Martin invited Chris on as a show of friendship, admiration and to keep harmony after having a few.

[@richiemabie]

it's tough far a Mass native, to make it out west, especially when you are a 1 man show, it must have been awsome to see him at the Filmore, GOD BLESS MARTIN SEXTON

[@WoodstockProd]

Truly beautiful music, glad I found it

[@nicka2702]

Couldn't agree more! Absolutely phenomenal artist.

[@andywise2031]

Beautiful!!!

[@gerryn2]

Wow wow wow, I don't have words. Fuck me, this was so AARGH :)

[@Alysalmt]

Yes yes. He does a great purple rain!! this is my favorite one by him, though so many good ones. just saw him here in charleston, wv- he came to the Mountain Stage @ the Clay Center...he has one of those voices that give you goosebumps.

[@ColbGood]

im a metal head and this I can say this guy is amazing. period.

[@jamesrichardson63]

yep...chris rocks too! i saw them both in houston and it was awsome!!

[@SophiaCorso]

I love it! He has such a great voice.

[@TheWoodbineProcessor]

Martin is my favorite. Coming from the area, I've grown to love him more than anyone else. I would love the opportunity sometime to sing the harmony on this track. It would be culminating.

[@Christopher8008]

Love me some Martin Sexton

[@zenabi879]

Nice. I love this song.

[@danyboy78113]

got damn, what a voice!

[@aztiff]

There was an audio of Purple Rain by Marty posted on someone's Myspace fan page a couple years ago, lifted off a slightly fuzzy radio broadcast, the BEST rendition ever. can't find it anymore.

[@evygil]

BEAUTIFUL BROTHER

[@eatlikeagoddess]

LOVE

[@sonjabutler271]

Yes (just yes!)

[@MassTwingles]

Can't wait to see Marty in April, it's been too long since I've seen him live which was last July in Lake Placid. None greater than him, none.

[@migbee]

His technique is amazing Can't wait for Clearwater Festival this weekend... Bela Fleck, Martin Sexton, *and* Ani Difranco? Yes please!

[@EmilyMcWey1]

So good!

[@balijam]

True enough. The guy is an amazing talent.

[@WoodstockProd]

beautiful performance

[@n8rtot7]

finally. a musician not from the 70s/80s that sounds good live!

[@hippyneonoutsider]

the last 26 seconds are why i play music...

[@webmonkeymon]

love the beginning.

[@TheYongProductions]

wow...so authentic

[@LoriLulu]

This guy!!! 💖

[@discinpar]

goose bumps when he starts singin

[@crones99]

Just saw him at the Ogden in Denver. He's awesome!!

[@MafiaManV]

[@angelcamrynsmom]

musical GENIUS

[@countrydp]

chris trapper and martin sexton!!!

[@webmonkeymon]

MY WIFES NAME IS PRONOUNCED CHERI AND THIS MAKES A GREAT SONG EVEN BETTER. SAW THE MAN LAST NIGHT. i HOPE HE TAKES CARE OF HIMSELF, PUTTING OUT SO MUCH EVERY NIGHT.

[@Alaskanese]

Mr.PhD in Bio guy, I lost you! I didn't mean to close out of the window.

[@MrCollosoccer]

Magic man

[@sleepydood]

How had I never heard of Matt before? Wow. Much like Michael Hedges, I'd rather listen to Matt tune his guitar for hours than see the majority of other acts these days play full sets. This man oozes talent.

[@raymondvandewalle934]

That dude has balls to be all douchy next to Martin...god bless Martin for being on point

[@derbypiershipre9218]

I will skip this song unless I have the time to really enjoy it - it's that special. Outstanding! 'Apple fields and old Cigars'

[@gerryn2]

Cathing myself liking my own comment. Why is this dude not selling records left and right, maybe he is?

[@christinamcclurg2951]

Wow so beautiful. Would have loved to hear the guy harmonizing on his own mic...

[@kwrenbeth4204]

Hi Laurie! Thanks. K. Eager.

[@jeddak]

sleepydood - I totally agree. With Michael, every note counts.

[@bschultz44]

Just dope

[@antigeekess]

HAYILL yeah!!!

[@bottomfeeder73]

Damn!!!

[@RAIDIOFACE]

BRAVO

[@standleymelissa]

especially during the entire song

[@lucy322]

@mrbillymorris12 Um... YES!!! It's absolutely GORGEOUS! You said it, he is amazing :-)

[@amygrandone9681]

what class, I would have rolled my eyes and hip checked the guy off stage but Martin takes it in stride! I love you man

[@RoyMize4242]

what is wrong with you people we make good music to heal hearts not hurt them im sure that guy was just out of his head to be singing with martin i would have been and you think you would be fine lmfao humanity is so ugly im so glad for martin pure love he does it for all of us and im so thankful so thankful love you martin you make changes in my life on daily basis when i feel like im out of life you refill my basin everytime So much love you thank you for your dedication to get you music to my ears

[@RoyMize4242]

ps i hope you get your son back in your life you have alot to teach him. I dont mean musically. you broke my heart with freedom on the road i wish my dad cared about me that much. my dad killed himself when i was a baby and i was the only person in the house/room. I still love him and miss him even though i didnt know him so you have hope my friend its not to late share your love please your one person that gives me hope for humanity very sincere truly. Roy Mize

[@amygrandone9681]

Like I said, "what class", being a performer myself I have been hip checked and it feels like shit, I've also been the drunk heckler that stands, screams and whips her hair like an idiot and have gotten the evil eye but never from Martin, God has blessed us all with him. I never said "I" have class-but I try to be a good person, progress not perfection, take a deep breath enjoy the day!

[@RoyMize4242]

I wasn't directing my comment at u Amy just seemed like there were a lot of comments that were negative on this page and as a performer ur self I think u will understand I don't think that is what martin was going for I'm sorry it seemed that my comment landed in yours you are exactly right progress not perfection carpe dium

[@bradygoss9379]

poor Chris Trapper of the Pushtones....he's a friend of Martins and the opening act that day

[@christianchopin]

@mrbillymorris12 I have a recording of it from a show he did in Burnsville, NY in like 97'. He covers 'A Day in the Life' in the same show. It's so amazing.

[@jamesrichardson63]

no...its Chris Trapper, although he was in "The Push Stars"

[@jaksspring97]

wish i could hear MrTrapper a little better....i like that they didn't sing the obvious harmonies in this performance...they were creative. Professional. Beautiful.

[@renegadehomesteader3127]

Genisis hot

[@christianchopin]

@mrbillymorris12 I have a recording of it at a show in Burnsville, NY in like 97'. He covers 'A Day in the Life' in the same show it's amazing!

[@redbirdjazzz]

Reminds my of John Martyn, voice and guitar.

[@Norse79]

and that's just him tuning his guitar! :)
