Martin's Dam emerged after the demise of the little known 80s AOR outfit called Bricklin. The brothers Bricklin (Scott and Brian) regrouped and shifted their style of music towards more of a singer/songwriter vibe, not far removed from the likes of Toad The Wet Sprocket or Counting Crows.
The band released two albums in the 90s, "The Healing" and "Sky Above," the latter containing a few re-recorded favorites from the former along with a handful of new songs. It is a shame these records didn't put the boys on the charts, as I would have loved to have heard more from them and their fantastic harmonies. Scott Bricklin would move on to a solo career and joined another band called US Rails.
"Fear Of Flying" is one of their best, and I can only find a live version on the net. These guys aren't even on Spotify at the time of this writing. Other favorites include "Mercy Blue," "Come See Julia," and "It Ain't Me."
