Martin + Me

Martin + Me is a solo album by the American musician J Mascis, his first.

[4] The album contains Dinosaur Jr. songs as well as covers of Carly Simon, Greg Sage, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and others.

[5] The album received mixed reviews, with some critics comparing Mascis (both favorably and unfavorably) to Neil Young.

[11][6][8] Rolling Stone wrote that "these bare-bones interpretations add nothing to the songs besides a new vocal and lyrical clarity, and considering the annoying nature of Mascis' nasal whine and the tossed-off quality of his lyrics, that isn't a good thing.

"[12] The Indianapolis Star opined that, "while Mascis doesn't have a singing voice conducive to an acoustic setting (though he's better off than, say, Tom Waits), his screechy Neil Young-like voice makes the best of it.
