Sometimes, an artist is in charge. In Martin Sexton's case, the songs on his CD, 'Mixtape of the Open Road,' were clearly driving the bus. As much as he wanted to create a theme record (like bluegrass or '70s rock), the songs in his collection each represent its own place in space and time. The resulting collection gathers together favorites that make for a memorable listening experience. While out on his massive roadtrip in support of the album, Sexton stopped by Beehive Studios in Saranac Lake, New York, to lay down some live cuts from his mixtape " along with exclusive video performances.
