This is one of the best CDs that I've bought this year. A friend of mine loaned it to me and I didn't want to give it back. Mark is pretty much an unkown right now but you can't ignore true talent for long. He has influences from Bob Dylan and Steve Earle but his music still sounds original. The CD contains 16 tracks for TEN BUCKS! You can't go wrong here, anyway you look at it!
