"This is a beautiful work" - Jon Anderson of Yes

The Spirit Spring
by
Timothy Martin

   The Spirit Spring is the story of the creation of the Four Worlds and the People who occupied the Glittering World. Ranging from adventurous progressive rock to Blues and even an occasional hint of Southern rock, The Spirit Spring is Tim's most emotional and entertaining work to date.
   This page contains a number of clips and one complete song from the album in various formats. If you are unsure of how to listen to these clips, check out the How to listen page.
