The Beat Surrender

When I picked up the Cd and press release my first thought was is he a geography or a science teacher, he had that chin stroking, arm patch wearing look about him that said I wouldn’t like this Cd at all.

Well don’t judge a book by it’s cover as this is a surprisingly complete and free-flowing album, lush musicianship and rich voice give it the sort of easy listen you get from doing something very simply, but doing it very well. The fact that Mark Ettinger is a multi instrumentalist and has also taken on a cast of good session musicians keeps the sound varied throughout. Proof in point that sometimes less is more.

That’s enough of the cliche’s and proverbs, the album In This World is out now.
