THE ONE AND ONLY GSP

Mark was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, and stayed in Dallas Texas after that for a few years, when he returned back to North Carolina, to what what's known as the "Foothills". Usually we limit our discussions to full length CD's, but these 4 numbers from the EP? "Walk up to the Bar" touched me and therefore I am willing to make an exception for Mark and we hope that the disc would be a teaser - a predecessor - to a full-fledged CD where Mark's guitar playing talent and laid back vocals and come to it's full.

With limited Financial means (Poor Boy is not just a fashionable statement - it is the painful truth in this instance) and with what friends can spare, he collects the funds for each number as he goes. His money dries up and so does the possibility of a full-fledged CD. Bassist Tim Pardue and drummer Lee White are the backing while especially the help of a friend and sound technician Mike Griffin makes this recording possible. The combination of Mark's half recited text with his bluesy guitar work gives the numbers on his mini-CD a strong atmospheric range. Especially "Rich" is a beautiful number with strong menacing guitar lines that builds the tension, while Mark recites his text. Beautiful!

The acoustic instrumental "Stomp" is a bluesy ambience maker, which is recorded live in one go just like "Way I Am". But when Mark switches back to the same "talking" style in "Better Days" it makes the weaker side, his less powerful voice, a positive thing and as in "Rich" it is a powerful song. Johnny Cash did it , Mark Knopfler did it, both with success, why then not Mark "Stardog" Isaiah. So continue Mark, till the full CD comes along.

My pop saw Jerry Lee Lewis in concert back in the day. Not only that, but he got thrown out of a Jerry Lee Lewis concert for raising to much hell. True story. How many people can say they saw the killer in person, but to get thrown out for raising to much hell. Now that’s classic.-MARK 

The picture on the player for stomp is my west coast ride. I wrote Stomp in the sleeper of this truck at a truck stop in Wenanchie Wa. Peace-MARK

If you ever get a chance to go see a Kid Rock show do not pass it up. One of the most well rehersed and professional shows I've ever seen. He take's his shit serious. The Twisted Brown Trucker Band kicks serious ass and the two together is something special.-MARK ISAIAH
