It's unsurprising that If the Jasmine Don't Get You the Bay Breeze
Will, with its six extended folk-rock compositions, bears a strong
resemblance to the late-'60s Capitol recordings by Neil himself, as
Neil and Martin shared Nik Venet as a producer. The Neil parallels
are even less unexpected given that Martin had sung with Neil as a
duo in the mid-'60s (they recorded one LP for Elektra). The
easygoing but emotional feel of the material and delivery is of a
general piece with Neil's, but more laid-back and countrified. The
loose, jazzy folk-rock feel of "Yonder Comes the Sun" bears some
resemblance to late-'60s Tim Buckley as well. Martin's pleasant,
high voice lacks the emotional depth of Neil's, but this remains a
pleasant, if low-key, period folk-rock record. The Fred Neil
similarity becomes especially prevalent on the concluding
"Jasmine," a long, flowing folk-rock jam with hints of raga, much
in the manner of some of the lengthier cuts on Neil's pair of
Capitol studio albums. ~ Richie Unterberger
