Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar hail from modern-day Toronto, but it sounds like their heartsare in Memphis, Muscle Shoals and Motown - in the Sixties." - Blues Enthused"Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar rock, and pacify, and generally astound in a way that seems tocontradict their mere five-year existence as a group so far." - Canadian Beats"These are Martin's songs, delivered with passion and power, drawn in part from forbears butmostly sounding fresh and contemporary just the same." - Glide Magazine"Samantha offers the same effusive passion and robust supercharged capability as the greatest Queens of the Blues have done before her during the 50s, 60s and 70s." - Raw Ramp, 5/5The Reckless One represents another massive step forward for Samantha Martin as a songwriter, singer, arranger and band leader. Martin's lyrics, set to a panoply of intoxicating, ear worm melodies, tend to focus on the vicissitudes of love: desire, disappointment and, when everything works out, emotional and sexual satisfaction. The album's twelve tracks cover a lot of ground, including 12/8 gospel infused soul ballads such as "I've Got a Feeling" and "Better to Have Never," funk inflected tracks like "Love is All Around," stomping four-on-the-floor dance numbers epitomized by "Don't Have To Be" and the Wall of Sound influenced "Sacrifice." Over the course of the album the discerning listener will detect a panoply of influences ranging from Mavis Staples, Sharon Jones and Otis Redding to Booker T. and the MG's and the Memphis Horns.
