While attending law school in Boston during the 60s, he became immersed in the local folk scene and played the Nameless Coffeehouse, Club 47 (now Club Passim). In 1972, Bob Martin recorded his first album Midwest Farm Disaster for RCA at Nashville Studios. He worked closely with Chet Atkins, (an executive at RCA at the time) and many exceptional studio musicians including drummer Kenneth Buttrey, (a key player on Bob Dylan's Blonde On Blonde album). Although critically heralded, Martin's career was not given priority and in turn, he left the professional music business and "dropped out" of the mainstream, retreating to a remote mountaintop farm in West Virginia. Midwest Farm Disaster remains a cult classic and continues find new fans across generations. Martin continued to write songs, poetry, novels and pursue his muse through various artistic endeavors. In 1982, he connected with some friends at June Appal Records of Whitesburg,KY, and eventually got back in the studio to make a second album, Last Chance Rider. It was another ten years, until the release of The River Turns the Wheel on his own imprint Riversong Records. The album hosts backing vocals by friends Bill Morrissey and Cormac McCarthy and is considered Bob Martin's most commercially successful album to date.  He toured nationally and opened for Merle Haggard in 1999. Martin didn't wait as long to release his fourth album Next To Nothin. In 2010 Martin issued his first live record Live at The Bull Run and he continues to perform nationally and internationally. 00:46:00Duane Johnsonnomusic,singer,songwriter,kerouac,folkEmerging from the same New England city as Jack Kerouac, Lowell, Mass native Bob Martin was greatly influenced by the beat poet's writing and career.

While their first clients consisted of vaudeville, circus, and minstrel shows, they helped to define the look of country music, designing posters for such country music Hall of Famers as Bill Munroe, Johnny Cash, and Hank Williams. But their influence stretch far beyond the borders of any one genre, as they also developed posters for Elvis Presley, Duke Ellington, and BB King. According to manager Jim Sherraden, Hatch’s formula has always been to combine colour, individuality and a bold, tactile design: an approach Sherraden calls the distinctive Hatch kick. Today, they continue to apply this handmade approach to posters for artists throughout North America. Many musical acts that roll through Calgary every year use posters by Hatch Show Print; the commemorative posters for Willie Nelson’s current tour are a prime example.  Hatch Show Prints is currently exhibiting at StoneMetal Press in San Antonio, Texas.  Join us as we talk with Jim Sherraden and with Jim Kane from StoneMetal Press. 00:18:00Duane Johnsonnoart,hatch prints,poster,graphic design,letterpressSince the late 19th century, Hatch Show Print has been an American institution, providing their bold, colourful and unique graphics to entertainers of all sorthttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/duanejohnson/2011/09/18/arts-vu-texas-size-printArthttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/duanejohnson/2011/09/18/arts-vu-texas-size-print/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/duanejohnson/2011/09/18/arts-vu-texas-size-printSun, 18 Sep 2011 19:00:00 GMTArts Vu: Texas Size Print On September 17, 2011 artists: Kim Bishop, Paul Karam, & Luis Valderas, in collaboration with Blue Star Contemporary Art Center, printed the largest mono-print in Texas using a steamroller.
