This is the 4th full length, all-original cd from Luther Wright.  Culled from the happenstance of lessons learned on the road and nurtured in isolation outside of Kingston, Ontario, "Man of Your Dreams" proposes something that may not actually exist.  Perhaps truth ain't for songs sometimes.  

         Here you hear what is easily some of Luther’s strongest song writing to date.  A casual blending of those familiar roots instruments; banjo, harmonica, dobro, guitars, mandolin, with a pop sensibility that produces a chronicle that is surprisingly organic and deep.  Twin Butte, Alberta (track 2) takes you far into oil country where there’s no place left to hide.  Things Twice (track 3) examines the pieces of a done deal and finds the gems that will help rebuild the relationship that took one to the brink.  The Pushing & the Pace (track 4) is so immersed into the question of why, how and who we are that the jury is hung and the judge calls a mistrial and the courthouse is closed until further notice.  Wooden Dreams (track 6) features Sarah Harmer on drums and vocals and is the break up song that never got used, but it’s really poppy and good. 

         The album was recorded and performed by Luther Wright and his extended family of musical compadres that he met over the past 15 years while touring and performing music in Canada and the U.S.   The guests also include Jenny & Dan Whiteley, Chris Brown & Kate Fenner, Tony Scherr and Wrongs alumni Cam Giroux, Dan Curtis, Burke Carroll, and Casey Fisher.

         Mixed and mastered by Marty Kinack in Mono Centre, released through Snakeye Muzak and distributed by Outside Music Canada.

…the Neil Young sway of “Twin Butte Alberta” is pure bliss while the George Jones-inspired “The Pushing and the Pace” proves Wright is doing just fine out on his own.    -Johnson Cummins, Montreal Mirror

Standing in that shadow is a grade-A word weaver and musician, as on Man of Your Dreams, where Wright focuses on the age-old dude issue of love gone wrong in pop and rock formats to complement his more C&W and honky-tonk leanings.

- Steve Guimond, Hour magazine

Luther Wright and the Wrongs are a Canadian combo that gets alt country right on the recent Man of Your Dreams -Timeout, NYC

Wright has a free-flowing writing style of his own, taking everyday situations and putting a satirical spin on them... —Illinois Entertainer, Chicago

You'll find Luther's voice is warm and trusting, and his sad stories, like the title track, are finely wrenching.”Roger's Waltz" is a little like "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda," which is fine company. —Gabino Travassos, Mote MGZN

...folks who like their country music with a rusty razor's edge won't find much wrong with these Martyrs. —DARRYL STERDAN, Canoe,ca

Luther Wright & the Wrongs show that they're not ones to mince words. Investing classic country stomping-grounds, from the weepers to the two steppers, with satire, originality and frankness is what they're all about. —Shepherd Express, Milwaukee

Wright takes this music to places it probably ought to go simply by providing his own perspective, which is completely different from an old fogy folkie like me.

— Mitch Podolak, Penguin Eggs

Guitar Pickin' Martyrs is an extremely earnest country music album, and quite brilliantly executed... —The Toronto Star

This inspired Canadian twang band filled a niche few of us knew needed filling: They recast THE WALL as a hillbilly song cycle. Sound ridiculous? They're dead serious, and darn good at it! —San Francisco Chronicle

Guitar Pickin' Martyrs is an often gorgeous collection of songs of broken hearts and desperation that retains enough wit to save you from hiding the razor blades.

—Tucson Weekly

Wright rips his heart out and throws this mass of emotions into his music while the Wrongs crush every stereotype... —Vue Weekly, Montreal

Although most people whooped whenever they recognized a familiar number from THE WALL, it was Wright's original songs like Broken Fuckin' Heart that drew the loudest cheers. —NOW, Toronto

Wright's wordplay stands up with the best of the genre and the pickin' and pluckin' of the Wrongs is always right. —Pittsburgh City Paper

Luther Wright and the Wrongs are far from being just another band on the road. They are blazing new trails! —Two Rivers Times, Asbury Park, N.J.

...tunes that split the difference between irreverence and respect for country's traditions...a balancing act pulled off with panache... —No Depression

Wright knows not only how to write'em, but how to arrange them as well—Colorado Daily
