music note Without a moment's hesitation I can tell you Lone Starry Night is the best album I have received for review in the thirteen months that I've been reviewing CD's for AngryCountry. Lone Starry Night IS everything I love about country music. It's classic, and progressive, traditional, yet unique. john Arthur shows impressive range and musical ability, and even manages to surprise this listener with an unexpected track that immediately became my favorite. Michael Allison - AngryCountry.com Staff Writer

music note I'd have to say that "The River Of Love/El Rio Amor" and "The Man Who Holds The Bow" are definite winners. "El Rio Amor" would have given Marty Robbins a run for his money back in Robbins' heyday. The rest of this album is loaded with great, true-to-the-heart songs that give you an insight into the thoughts and feelings of Martinez. K. Fontenot, Amazon.com

music note"Give him three minutes and he'll touch your soul." KVET, Austin, Texas

music noteSolid western swing with a rich Tejas flavor, proving john Arthur has the chops. His gentle tenor is at home with every nuance of Texas swing, drawing from roots from Bob Wills to mariachi rhythms. Kathy Coleman, http://countrymusic.about.com/

He was born in Austin, Texas and raised in the Texas hill country, an area with a rich musical heritage.

The process began in 2003 when millions of country-music fans were first exposed to his music. john Arthur martinez finished second on the USA Network's national talent competition Nashville Star.

Where there's a will, there's a way. jAm has slept on dozens of floors and couches, sung in hundreds of bars, successfully marketed two CDs of his songs, won regional radio airplay and worked his way up from debt to profitability during his climb to prominence on the competitive Texas music scene. With the release of his debut album for Dualtone, he makes his first bid for a national audience

He graduated with an English degree from Southwest Texas State University and a Masters in Journalism from the University of Arizona but soon realized that his heart wasn't in a degree; his passion is music.
