    Kayaker,
    I saw Marti and Don Dixon together several times around town. My fave show was at the 930 club in 1986. She was riding high from "Unsophisticated Time" doing so well in the DC area due to HFS playing the great "Follow You All Over the World" I was in love with Marti back then...LOL. I have all the Marti vinyls so this is going to be a treat to pick up the rips.
    thx/VanFan

    Sounds cool. Thanks so much for all your feedback VanFan!
    I saw Marti and Don together about 6-8 years ago at the Ramhsead in Annapolis. Nice show.
    Saw her together with Amy Rigby about 2 years ago and it was awful. Some stupid tour they did together called "Cynical Girls". In my opinin was all about man bashing. Even my female concert buddy that went with me thought it was a bit much. They played sever good tunes, but all in all the show mostly sucked.
    I have since forgiven them both.

    here's a kinder write up from someone that enjoyed the show more than me.

    Unsophisticated Time was an incredible album. Alas, she was never able to match it as one might expect. I bought the CD and am very happy to have it.

    thanks. I could never get a copy of Unsophisticated Time since I had vinyl. This is great. It's got my fave Marti J song on it, Follow You All Over The World. She's that rarity in post-rock pop, an interpreter of other's songs. These days there's a 'shame' when you don't write all your own material but Jones is brave enough to see the value of covering good material and in some cases making it better.
    thanks again and Merry Christmas.

    e,
    Seems to be a few Unsophisticated Time fans out there. It is a very good album. Glad you could get it here. I like pretty much everything she did. I would say Don Dixon played a huge part in her and others when it comes down to catch pop songs.
    Thanks again for the input e.

    "Match Game" was my intro to Marti. How could I not try an album with songs by David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Twilley, Crenshaw, Barone, and Dixon?

    I've got all of these, so I'll pass on the download, but it's just nice to see some other MJ fans being made happy. She has a special voice and a charming personality. She and Don Dixon made a terrific team. I enjoyed every show of theirs I saw (most at the the Bottom Line in NYC) and all the albums. If she can't sing for us anymore, I hope she's happy whatever she's doing.

    Thanks for loading these and everything else. I've seen Marti with and without Don probably a dozen times since the 930 days, and catch her every time she plays at Rams Head. They have always been one of my favorites to see. I got to meet both of them in Annapolis earlier this year and they were great to talk to and I think I still have a crush on her after all these years.

    Grrr! Rapidshare no longer works. Oh well.

    I bought a copy of "Unsophisticated Time" from the Princeton Record Exchange that was in mint condition, so I finally broke down a did a rip. I included cover scans, notes, and label shots. Below is the link for everyone who comes here looking for the album.

    Great to see this blog, by the way; I grew up listening to the old WHFS, which is how I discovered Marti Jones.
