But Erelli would always throw the interviewer a curveball by also listing musicians like David Lindley and Ry Cooder, two sidemen closely associated with Browne and Hiatt's best albums. "As a teenager I sat in front of my stereo for hours, in hopes of learning to write songs like that," remembers Erelli, "but I also tried to learn the guitar solos on those records note for note." -- -- Thousands of musical miles later, Mark Erelli now travels his own road that both embodies and challenges our expectations of a singer/songwriter. Erelli has tackled everything from western swing and protest songs to lullabies and murder ballads, all in a richly expressive voice that Twangville.com heralds as "the male counterpart to Neko Case." It is a journey that has taken Erelli from church basement coffeehouses to the main stage of the Newport Folk Festival, stopping briefly along the way to sing the national anthem at Fenway Park. -- -- -- (Source: Artist website) -- -- -- UPC 888174875446 -- -- -- The Amazon ASIN for the mp3 version of this CD is B00LH2GCA2 -- -- -- Another listing by Zip
