The Martins
Still Standing
Gaither Music Group, 2018
Gaither “Homecoming” vets The Martins are back with their first record in four years. Longtime fans won’t be disappointed. New fans will be made. Do you like country? You’ll be hard-pressed to keep from nodding along right out of the gate thanks to “Running.” The album ends with a new version of the classic, ever edifying “Wherever You Are.” The nine mostly mid-tempo songs in between are great and feature the tight, trademark harmonies you’ve come to expect from the sibling trio. Fair warning: The kids are going to ask you to play “Smell of Smoke,” which tells the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, over and over. You won’t mind.
