Martha Bassett: Mortal Flesh , released in 2004
"The full versatility of Bassett's voice has now come
to the forefront with the release of Mortal Flesh, a stylistic reach for
Bassett and a pitch-perfect album of faith that humanizes her angelic
voice like no project before." "The album is extraordinary--by some margin
Bassett's best and truest work." "Bassett sounds loose and relaxed, deeply
in touch with the material and the musicians."
--Ed Bumgardner, Relish Magazine FIVE STARS!!!!! Bassett has a penchant for folk and traditional music...of interest to fans of gospel music as well as those who are looking for material that might adapt well to the bluegrass "take." Musical Resonance-- "How tedious and tasteless the hours when Jesus no longer I see," Martha Bassett sings halfway through Mortal Flesh, her clear voice ringing. Guitar, banjo, dobro, and fiddle accompany standards such as "Be Thou My Vision" and less well-known arrangements such as her rendition of "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence," which combines the tune of a French carol with 4th century words from the liturgy of St. James. A smooth and satisfying sound. TO LISTEN, CLICK
