My friends and I put a lot ourselves into the music we write and play, and I’m grateful to all the folks who put the time in to listen and review my music as well as the music and art of all the other great acts out there. We like to think we’re contributing in our own way to Americana, and the reviews and write-ups like the ones below are definitely part of that, too.
If you’d like to request a CD or other material for review purposes, please reach out to me at mark@unclebuckle.com.
Mostly acoustic and only moderately electrically amplified, the music of Mark Brown is a prime example of what is summarized under the term Americana. Deliberately kept in lo-fi quality, with clear influences from Johnny Cash to Tom Waits to Townes Van Zandt (but without imitating his deep melancholy), Mark Brown paints a picture of simple, rural America.
