notes
"If I had a voice like Mark Erelli, I could go places." -Dave Alvin
It's hard to imagine better testimony to what more and more music lovers are discovering every day: Mark Erelli has rapidly become a potent and powerful new voice in American music.
With songs that sounded "fresh yet oddly familiar, like something rediscovered on the old 78s found in your grandparents' cellar" (Billboard), Mark was hailed as "one of the most versatile, tuneful new singer-songwriters" (Boston Herald). Others put his debut on their top-10 of the year lists, where it rubbed shoulders with albums by Tom Waits, Macy Gray, and Richard Thompson.
Erelli's success and devotion to his craft in his down-time pays off in spades on his sophomore release, Compass & Companion. From the majestic opeing strains of "Ghost" to the wistful comclusion of "Almost Home," Compass and Companion is that rare bird of an album that sucks you in a keeps you rapt from start to finish. Produced by Lorne Entress, the album embraces the spectrum of musical idioms, distilling them into a unique and focused musical vision.
