Lee expresses the meaning behind Finally Going My Way as, "one of those unsent letters of the things you would like to say to someone, but you never send it. Life as a musician is so interesting, you are always surrounded by people and seemingly popular, but at root level it’s a lonely life. You sacrifice a lot of your personal life to pursue your dreams and often friends tend to disappear, but as with everything it is a give and take, with the good comes the bad and the choice is always yours."

The album Gypsy Soul features:

Lee Martin - Vocals, Guitar, Chris Ward - Electric Guitar, Percussion,

Marika Hodgson - Bass, Forrest Thorp - Keyboards, Trumpet, Adam Tobeck - Drums, TeMatera Smith - Percussion.

South African Backing Vocals: RJ Benjamin, Tracey-Lee Oliver, Lelo Ramasimong, Nonhlanhla Mdluli

Lelo Ramasimong - won a prestigious Naledi Award for playing Shug Avery in the South African production of The Colour Purple. Top 16 finalist on The Voice SA season 3.

Nonhlanhla Mduli - Became a lead singer at 16 in one of the most successful South African gospel outfits, Joyous Celebration. She has worked with international acts backing for Josh Groban, Usher and Alicia Keys.

Tracey-Lee Oliver - Finalist on three major reality show competitions, Project Fame, Afrikaans Idols, and The Voice SA Season 1. Nominated for multiple Musical Theatre performances most notably for playing Deena Jones in Dreamgirls.
