Album DescriptionProgressive acoustic folk from a veteran singer/songwriter. Securely rooted in the urban folk tradition of the 1960s, Mark J. Bradlyn's second independent CD release is a striking painterly collection of original songs written over the past 25 years. Recorded mostly live in the studio by audio engineer Tim Prince, the songs on "Lighthouse Keeper" present themselves with a startling immediacy and warmth. From intimate love songs to country-swing, funky folk-blues, and beyond, Bradlyn's inimitable vocal chops and solid finger-style guitar work shine through, supported by a sterling back-up band including prize-winning fiddler Dennis English and folk legend Mary McCaslin.
