It is twenty-eight years years since the release of the highly acclaimed debut 'Boat to Bolivia' . Martin Stephenson has produced many fine records along the way, and the great news is that through Universal, the entire back catalogue is available again for fans, old and new. 'California Star' is a new, sparkling collection of songs. Once again he is backed by his legendary Daintees.
The album opens with somewhat laid back but beautiful 'The Ship' which sparkles like a John Martyn/Robbie Robertson classic, and from there the album journeys through classic pop, folk, gospel ,country and concludes with the very reggae sound of 'I'm in 'Love for the First Time'.
The second track 'Streets of San Sebastian ' with it's Spaghetti Western vibe again adds to the eclectic collection of classic songwriting which Martin is renowned for, and the title track 'California Star' bears testimony to this.
There are many highs on this collection, and it should not only please the old guard but also win many more converts especially with songs as great as 'Sweet Cherwine' and the simplicity of 'Something Special'.
