Album Notes & Community Reviews

Rushed out just weeks after his previous LP to capitalize on its Lee Hazlewood-penned title track, 'Houston' continues Martin's incredibly lucrative country-pop synthesis. The lush, easy-listening production masks a slight melancholic edge, perfectly suited to the singer's smooth, bourbon-soaked baritone. The record exemplifies the polished, high-volume release strategy of mid-sixties adult contemporary music.
