Martin Simpson er i vide kredse anerkendt som en af de allerbedste guitarister i verden på akustisk og slide guitar, og der er ingen tvivl om, at efter 45 år som professionel musiker er Martin Simpson lige nu bedre end nogensinde før. Hans fortolkninger af traditionelle sange er mesterværker i fortællekunst, og hans solokoncerter er intense, bredt favnende, tryllebindende og dybt bevægende.
Der er ingen, der er lykkedes bedre med at blande de forskelligartede elementer fra britisk, afro-amerikansk og old timey musik end Simpson. Hans 15 år i USA blev godt givet ud. I tillæg har hans egen sangskrivning udmøntet sig i nogle rigtige perler, fra den episke "Love Never Dies" til de dybt bevægende "Never Any Good" og "One Day".
Hans karriere rummer samarbejde - på scenen og i studiet - med navne som Richard Thompson, June Tabor, Jackson Browne, Danú, Martin Carthy, Cara Dillon, Roy Bailey, Steve Miller, Dick Gaughan og mange flere.
Martin har ikke mindre end 32 nomineringer - flere end nogen anden musiker - til BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, inkl. 9 i træk som Musician of the Year, en titel han har vundet to gange. Han har også vundet titler for bedste sang, bedste album, bedste gruppe m.v.
Hvad enten han spiller amerikansk old time musik, blues, en Dylan-sang eller sine egne sange, så er Martin Simpson uforudsigelig, enestående og en umådelig underfundig guitarist.
"Martin is in a class of his own. He is such an expressive player; he is ingenious in his use of the guitar. You can listen to one of his songs and three or four minutes in, he has only used the top four strings and not even played a bass note yet, and when he does, it feels like an orchestra coming in. His clarity of playing is just amazing."Jackson Browne
"Every track cuts like glass. The folk singer and guitarist continues his winning streak with a collection in which past and present, the individual and the communal, are entwined in an intricate dance."Clive Davis, The Sunday Times
"...a rich voice that is as striking as the steel guitar strings carrying the melodies"David Hintz, FolkWorld
"...rightfully seen as a living legend when it comes to the acoustic six-string."Grizzly Folk
"Martin Simpson has transcended borders and oceans to quietly become a superb storyteller and musician of great depth and unquestionable taste."Stephen Fearing
"...after 45 years he is still producing music of astonishing passion and power (...) one of the world’s finest guitarists, a true virtuoso of the instrument"Exposed Magazine
"One of the finest fingerstyle and acoustic slide guitarists in the world."Guitar Player magazine
