REBECCA MARTIN PEOPLE BEHAVE LIKE BALLADS “…the songs are all hers this time, and nearly every one carries a chilling mule-kick, originating either in Ms. Martin’s lyrics, her singing or the arrangements of her modest band.…   The relaxed self-possession in the songs and in Ms. Martin’s dusky, middle-range voice, which stretches out on vowels for a while before the vibrato kicks in, suggests that she may not particularly care whose camp she's put in, or who she's compared to.” - New York Times Critics Pick “…she echoes (Joni) Mitchell’s depth and authority in her writing.   As evidenced throughout the 16 tracks that fill (People Behave Like) Ballads, all Martin originals, she is fearless in her pursuit of gut wrenching emotional honesty.   Let Martin’s astute, erudite perspectives on the human condition wash over you, and you’ll know you’re in the company of emerging genius.” - JazzTimes Rebecca Martin, Vocals, Acoustic & Electric Guitar, Mandolin Steve Cardenas, Electric Guitar Ben Monder, Electric Guitar Bill McHenry, Tenor Saxophone Peter Rende, Piano, Fender Rhodes, Hammond B3, Wurlitzer, Pedal Steel, Pump Organ, Mandolin, Background Vocals Matt Penman, Acoustic Bass Darren Beckett, Drums TRACK LISTING 01 LEAD US     3:47 02 HERE THE SAME BUT DIFFERENT     3:24 03 THESE BONES ARE YOURS ALONE     3:30 04 IF ONLY     4:24 05 I'D LIKE TO THINK IT'S COMING     4:57 06 IT'S ONLY LOVE     3:18 07 WHEN THE RAIN COMES     3:28 08 IT WON'T BE LONG     2:40 09 LEARNING     3:24 10 EAST ANDOVER     4:18 11 OLD FAMILIAR SONG     4:17 12 LONESOME TOWN     6:02 13 I'M NOT AFRAID     3:00 14 GONE LIKE THE SEASON DOES     3:13 15 I'M THE ONE     3:44 16 PLAY FOR ME     2:51       Total Length     60:44 All songs by R Martin except 02 by R Martin & S Cardenas 08 by R Martin & R Julian
