Hi Everyone!
It's a great feeling to know that music fans have started down-loading my new album *Special Edition* and I want to share some positive feed-back from people who loved the songs and left comments.
"A Hidden Gem of an Album by artist-cat (Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi, oi)
Marc Leon may not be a household name in the world of rock music - but like most blues players his work gets noticed by those who appreciate good sounds.
A much underrated guitarist and vocalist - his playing is reminscent of Dickey Betts and Eric Clapton, with a bit of Larry Carlton thrown in for good measure.
This album is a mix of blues roots music, hard driving rock and jazz fusion. You can hear a bit of Robert Johnson in the opening shots of "Shoot from the Hip" and then pure rock in (my favorite) "No Friends in High Places", which should be a hit single if it ever gets radio airplay. The blues and rock continues until the pace slows down near the end - where subtle yet complex jazz/ rock/ fusion sounds spill out in "Capricornica" and "Escorpiona".
A versitile and varied album from an excellent musician. It should probably be titled 'the Best of Marc Leon' - but maybe there's more to come...
If you like this - get an album by his former band "Whipping Post" called 'Damn the Distance'. It has an outstanding track on it called 'Roll on Central', which
unfortuneately is missing from this Special Edition CD. Oh well, you can't have everything..."
"This is a great album, wonderful variety of blues, shades of Rory Gallagher especially in the blues-rock vocals. Very enjoyable....by Ceolte"
"Whoa! Marc, these are awesome tracks!! Great touch! Love your style... smooth, sassy, feeling, smokey, solid and like you, music has to move me...and when I listen to these tracks I am all over the place!!! Really nice! Really nice!!
Thanks - I'll be hanging on every note....*Lix*"
It's also satisfying to know that tracks..and the entire album of *Horizons* have been down-loaded, so yeah, I'm pretty happy about it all :)
Have a great day!
Marc
