Martha Redbone is a blues and soul singer who has
been featured on the Women of the Four Winds tour.
I detect jazz influences as well, in the ways that
those musical forms influence each other. At times she reminds me a little of
Anita Baker in her vocalizations, that shouldn't be taken as a way of putting
her in a box. Too much range is covered.
Redbone lays down a bad funk on "Skin" and
grooves on "Atlas". One can easily imagine her bringing a house down,
but still many of the tracks are quieter and cooler, like "Talk About
It" of "Just Because".
Her main page is temporarily under construction, but
it appears she was recently playing in Hawaii, and next month will
be hosting Martha Redbone's Indigenous Funk Party in New York.
That sounds like something she will do well.
