Details:
With his laid-back traditional sound, straightforward vocals, and heartfelt ballads, Jerry Don Martin came to be known as a true storyteller through song, painting a picture that the listener can truly see, not just hear. Born in Hartselle, Alabama, Jerry began playing guitar when he was child, learning the instrument from his friend and fellow successful songwriter Al Turney. During high school, he and friend Norman Juliano recruited other musicians, forming The Realistics in 1964. The following year, the band signed a contract with Peagam records, releasing their first single with regional success and acclaim. For the next two years, they had a series of minor hits, highlighted by ''Paula'' in 1966. The group dissolved in 1968 as Jerry entered the United States Navy.
After his military duty, Jerry decided to pursue a solo career and was quickly signed by the independent label Treetop Records in 1975. His first release, ''Going Home'', received heavy airplay and he was soon signed by Fraternity Records. His first Fraternity release, Little Ragged Clown cracked Cashbox''s Top 5. Jerry would release eight singles over the next several years, with ''Easy Loving You'' and ''Widows Eyes'' again gaining national attention.
Throughout the 80''s Jerry concentrated on his duties as a staff writer for Hurdy Gurdy Publishing and eventually his own label, Pinewood Records based out of Louisville, Kentucky. The label saw regional success with several of Jerry''s releases and R&B act ''Us Posse''. In 1998 Jerry signed with DiMar Records, releasing his first full-length album ''Devil From Dallas'' in 2000. 2008 saw the release of ''Lonely Guitar Man'', an album of digitally remastered demos, lost recordings, and test pressings throughout his career. In 2009 Jerry has returned to the studio under the LRC Recordings label for work on his next album ''This Time Around'', due out December 2009.
