OUT IN THE SUNPop mixes with gospel and soul stirred in with blues and occasional, delicate smatterings of hard rock in the 'musical stew' that is Mark Nelson’s second self-produced solo album “Out In The Sun”; which, like any good stew, once it is over, leaves you longing for more.Mark, formerly with rock bands Slinki Malinki and Supersmiler, is a blues and ballad singer-songwriter who does it all one-handed (being born with only one arm) and whose songs have reached across the world. His songs have featured in films such as ‘World without Waves’ and have been broadcast internationally, on Rock FM in Romania and RTK in Kosovo, as well as on the BBC World Service (in the UK, Albania and the Ukraine).Mark currently performs regularly both solo and also in his blues band/trio at venues and festivals across the UK and Europe.As a follow up to his 2013 debut release “In From The Cold”, this latest album has been years in the making, in between blues band projects, many, many live performances and even a novel. There is a striking contrast in arrangements as this latest venture offers full on pop compositions complete with keyboards and orchestration as well as the obligatory guitars, bass and drums. Yet Mark plays all the instruments and sings the entire vocal parts himself; and it was recorded and produced in his own studio in Surrey, England.Taking inspiration from the Beatles, as well as more contemporary artists, such as singer-songwriter Jon Allen, and blending pop from a bygone era with blues and soul, Mark uses his inimitable blues-ridden vocal chords to weave a sunny, poignant and nostalgic view of the world. In his world, it is love that makes it turn, it is a world where dreams can come true, where prophecies are sooth-sayered, a world which, in the end, no matter how bad things might seem, it will all work out alright as love conquers all!“Out in the Sun” is released on Blue Trouser Records and is available on CD and as digital downloads.
