Cream From Nashville With (Modern) Love
Posted by Tracy Moore on Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 12:00 PM
Anyone who is in love is living a charmed life, especially if you've been in love for many years, through good times and bad. I have been crazy about Linda since the first time I saw her. We always felt we could handle any challenge because we were facing it together. This time we knew we had the will, but the demands were so exhausting, the changes so pervasive, that sometimes we wondered how we would cope. This incredibly capable woman who loved to hike mountains, ride waves, and run marathons, who had cleared our sizable backyard of eight-foot-high brambles and helped me move all our furniture into three houses, suddenly couldn't do any of those things, ever again.

Layng is about as nice a guy as you can meet, too.
To add to the family's Creaminess, Layng Martine III came up through the Nashville rock system, left for Seattle and became a big-time engineer and producer, working with Bill Frisell, Bill Laswell and on a couple of great Lori Carson albums.
I hadn't seen the column, so thanks for posting, Tracy. Ain't love somethin'?

Tucker Martine, one of Layng's sons and a native Nashvillian now based in Seattle, produced records for Mudhoney, Bill Frisell, Decemberists, Laura Veirs, and many others. Also performs music as Mount Analog. He also did the Insect Electronica and Bush Mali Taxi discs for Sublime Frequencies which are both well worth checking out.
