CD Reviews

An all around great album
John Tiernan | Columbia. MO | 07/21/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I had never heard of Mark before this album - and I didn't know what I was missing! This CD is constantly on - at home, at work, in the car. Some of the people at work are singing along with 'The Difference'!If you enjoy a songwriter who tells stories (I Remember) - who touches upon common experiences (I relate very well to the estrangement of his father in the song 'Us Both') - who can have fun with songs ('Bears') - and who puts into words what some of wish we could say ('Out') - then this is the album for you!"

"I was fortunate enough to hear Mark Weigle for the first time at the Phoenix, AZ Gay Pride festival in 2004. I was knocked out by his reserved yet fun demeanor, and his songs were alternately playful ("Bears") and deeply thoughtful ("I Remember"). As soon as his set was over, I wandered over to his booth and picked up a pair of his CDs. It was the best money I spent that weekend.



He plays folk music and is unabashedly out in his lyrics, but that doesn't rob the universality from a song like "In The last 5 Minutes." And as a gay man, I am always appreciative of singers who aren't afraid to be out about their lyrics, even if it means the likelihood of marginalizing the potential audience. There's no pronoun switching or intentional gender fuzziness about "Out" or "I Remember." And for a change, it's nice to hear someone performing for a gay audience that isn't backed by overbearing drum machines, synthesizers and screeching divas. (A scene and song form he adeptly parodies on "Love Your Body Like it Is.") "Out of the Loop" lives up to its title in that respect; it's music for the rest of us. Mark Weigle can get to your heart, and that's the best reason to pick up "Out Of The Loop.""
