The first thing that grabs you about this album is the cover- each disc comes with a crayon in the spine to color the line-drawn flower on the front!Give the disc a spin and your attention immdediately shifts to the music: Acoustic-driven, gutsy singer-songwriter pop with a band sound.Mark's edgy, rangy voice is perhaps his strongest asset, reminiscent at times of Shawn Mullins or Adam Duritz.The music is firm, uptempo pop, with just enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. Also listen for some astounding background vocals and killer hammond organ.
