Buzz Martin, the Singing Logger
Stereo R-8117
Ranwood Records
Buzz Martin is the real deal, and once the novelty of a singing logger wears off, what you have is the most genuine folk singer you’ll ever find. Buzz had a pure, authentic and downright enjoyable hillbilly sound, and being a logger by trade, he delivered an honest, poetic and usually comedic portrayal of the common working man of the western hills.

AWESOME, I have been raised from logging and it is cool there is someone who sang about this lifestyle. Wish I knew where to find more albums of his. Thanks .

Back when I was a kid, Buzz sang at a charity in Vernonia Oregon home of the History Channels “Ax Men”. He was a great guy….my dad a timber faller, and him talked about logging into the wee hours of the morning. Boy could Buzz drink beer and sing…the more Ole Beer he had the funnier he was….. a great entertainer…and he knew logging.
