When The Day Is Short may change all that though. It's got a blissfully lazy, country-ish melody, with gently brushed guitars and a subtle pedal steel in the background. Martha's in fine voice as well, drawing you to the heartbreakingly sad lyrics - "I don't care if you love me tomorrow/just love me tonight/and I will be alright/until tomorrow night" should be the saddest couplet you'll hear all year.

And that's Martha in a nutshell - she lures you in with the sweetest sounds and then, like an expert boxer, gives you a big old emotional wallop to the solar plexus. Buy this record and make her the star she should be.
