Mark Spencer: Press/Reviews

"His personal experiences as a musician playing with veterans of the live circuit also found their way into many of the song lyrics on "Prophets, Fools & Sages," and his strength as a songwriter comes through in each song as he artfully weaves tales of wonder, intrigue and lost love."

"In an album full of well-orchestrated and skillfully written tracks, however, Spencer's prowess as a songwriter shines through best as he relays the heartbreaking story of a homeless veteran in the track "Ghosts of Freedom."

""Letters Home" is another example of Spencer's keen insight as he tells the saga of a musician fighting an inner battle between wanting to flee his lot in life, yet knowing he must remain where he is and continue being the man he"s become."

"The ballad "Minstrel & Maiden" describes a totally different side of performing live. In rich, deep tones, Spencer tells of an encounter between a performer and his audience, and the magic he weaves through his storytelling. One of the most technically challenging tracks on the album, "Minstrel" is a complex arrangement featuring multi-layered riffs and a soaring guitar solo."

"You have a unique and good sound...and I think it's great you support our veterans."
Jeremy - lead vocalist Falling Rock

"I like your music very much! Sometimes I can hear the influence of Bob Dylan and John Prine in your sound, as well as James Taylor.

All in all, music I really like! That live acoustic sound is very warm, something that almost seems to be removed or lacking in a lot of today's music. I've been sitting here listening to your whole 'set' and am glad to meet you and hear you! :-)"

This is a great little disc that in my own words is the true example of Indie music at its best. This is an album that has some great sounds but what really got me the most was the fact it had a huge sound from a small production. In the tradition of great classic rock and roll this little gem has it all.

Four Stars...

Very impressive

Very thought provoking and creative.Good balance of music & lyrics. Unique style with a style of it's own.

Four Stars...

Very Well Done

A new take on hard rock,based around acoustic guitars and tastefully done lead work. Classic song stylings made better by the occasional moves delving into more modern aspects of rock, all the time focusing on the lyrics & themes within the songs.Well done, very rocking and more than worth the time & money to check out. Think Alice In Chains circa the Jar Of Flies ep and plenty of soul.
