Review in The Standard Times ( RI ) by Dan Ferguson WRIU 90.3 FM A guitar-slingin' sideman influenced by twangmeisters from James Burton to Clarence White to Albert Lee has brought Stan Martin his main notoriety on the Boston scene... The CD-EP Wicked Heart marks his first dive into the solo ranks and while the Tele is as string-bending fine as ever, the recording affords an opportunity to make acquaintances with Stan Martin the singer and songwriter. Moving in tempo from country shuffle to ballad to charged-up countrified rocker, decent country songs, each and every one from the pen of Martin, is the primary order of business on Wicked Heart. All of five songs in length, Wicked Heart could be considered a bit of a tease that leaves you hankering for more from where this came from.
