Our Take

WINK MARTINDALE - Big Bad John':

In a world full of bubblegum pop and manufactured boy bands, Wink Martindale's Big Bad John is a refreshing throwback to the days when country music had some grit and authenticity. With his deep, booming voice and storytelling prowess, Martindale spins a tale of a larger-than-life coal miner who meets a tragic end saving his fellow workers. The twangy guitars and sweeping strings add to the drama, creating a cinematic experience that transports you straight to the heart of the American South. It's a classic slice of country storytelling that still packs a punch decades later. Whether you're a die-hard country fan or just appreciate a good story, Big Bad John is a must-listen.

'WINK MARTINDALE - Deck Of Cards':

If you're looking for a truly unique listening experience, look no further than Wink Martindale's Deck Of Cards. This album takes the concept of storytelling to a whole new level, with Martindale recounting a powerful poem about a soldier who uses a deck of cards to spread the message of God. The spoken word delivery combined with the haunting background music creates an eerie and immersive atmosphere that will leave you intrigued from start to finish. Martindale's deep voice captures the solemnity of the soldier's journey, while the subtle instrumentation adds an air of mystery and intrigue. Deck Of Cards is a truly one-of-a-kind album that showcases Martindale's storytelling prowess in a way that will stick with you long after the final track fades out. So shuffle the deck, sit back, and let Wink Martindale take you on a journey like no other.
