Now I wish I'd voted for "Millbrook." That's probably my second favorite.

Yeah, that definitely deserved a few votes. Hard to argue with that top three though. This sis a good album but it is very front-loaded.

His sis has not made any good albums

I really liked Martha's first album. Saw her live around the time it came out and she was great.

great album. have to go with "foolish love", the opening line is so classic.haven't really cared for anything else he's done, i think the van dyke parks type sound really worked splendidly.

Brion's production was aces as well.

Also, I saw him in Austin when this came out. Martha opened for him. She was pretty good IIRC. He was fine but an absolutely insufferable personality on stage.

i LOVE this album, sorry i missed the poll. saw him as an opening act just after the album came out and it ended up being one of my favorite records as a sullen 16-year-old.

can't argue with the results although "Millbrook" and "Sally Ann" are my favorites of the ones that got zero votes.

should've voted for "Imaginary Love."

yeah the couple times i saw him live i thought he was a ham and perhaps more drunk than he should've been but generally a good entertainer

when I saw him in early '02 he was out of his head but a total delight. He opened with "Grey Gardens" and closed iirc with "One Man Guy," which had excellent Martha W and Teddy Thompson harmonies.

man... if barcelona just cut out most of minutes 2-5 it would be a really great song in his catalog. sadly, it meanders for a few minutes and kills it. that opening/closing melody is achingly gorgeous tho.
