Had the opportunity to meet Mark recently. We were at a small jam session and it very rewarding.. Mark is an amazing musician and even a better person. I learned a few things and made a new friend..don’t miss it if you have a chance to see him perform.
What a pleasant surprise! I had not heard of Mark for quite a while since I moved to the wilds of Tidewater Virginia, so when I discovered one of his albums on a trip home to Fort Worth recently I was doubly excited.
I knew Mark in college at Stephen F. Austin and realized way back then that he would do a lot in music. As a fellow musician (albeit one who retired to follow that Other Calling) I could hear in Mark then what I hear in his work now - he IS his music, and that music still shines above most of the rest of the product out there today. Mark had, and clearly still has, a rare joy and passion for and in his music that will always set him apart - and take him far.
Give his music a listen, and you will be given in return a refreshing musical journey...or maybe a rodeo. Either way, it is a great trip, and a lot of fun!
Mark Gorman ROCKS! I read all this stuff people write about Chris Wall, Pat (what's his name), and Cross Canadian "wish we were really from Texas where we make all our money instead of Oklahoma) Ragweed and it makes me SICK!!! None of these "musicians" can hold a candle to the musicianship of Mark Gorman's little finger. Get real.
Saw Mark Gorman at the Texas Music Nation Celebration Preview at the White Elephant saloon. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. Great performer and has great moves on stage with that guitar.
Great live band. Great records. You cannot consider yourself a serious Texas Music fan without knowing this band and this singer/songwriter.
Damn good concert in Arlington, TX at J Gilligan's last Saturday. I was just cruisin' lonestar music and saw you on here. You guys kicked some serious @$$! Can't wait to see you there again and bring everybody I know.
Well, Mark has done it again. I got Wind & Ages at a songwriter's gig in Fort Worth and fell in love with the music. I recently got All Night Long and haven't taken it out of the CD player since. I like "Time To Ride" and I'm Goin' Home" the best, although the "Santa Anna's Tortillas" song has special meaning to me and my wife. If you don't know the story behind that song, be sure and ask Mark what it's about. ;-)
Super CD! Every song is strong.
Good solid songwriter's cd. Great story songs (esp. The Piano and Charlotte,Where Will You Go?)
I think the Wind and Ages CD is my favorite because the songs are so deep. If you think about what they mean, you can really see them on different levels. I especially like the song, Wind and Ages. The guitar is incredible and the words make me think of my great uncle who was really a cowboy. I like All night Long too, but the 1st CD is my personal favorite.
