Bob Martin

Born in Lowell, Massachussetts, Bob Martin not only shares the birthplace of Jack Kerouac, but seems to have been guided by the same muse. Martin's vivid writing brings characters to life through his poetic song-stories.
It was in 1972, fifteen years after Kerouac's On The Road was published, that Bob Martin made his first album Midwest Farm Disaster for RCA Records in Nashville. He worked closely with Chet Atkins, an executive at RCA at the time and many exceptional studio musicians including drummer Kenneth Buttrey, a key player on Bob Dylan's Blonde On Blonde album.
