MARC COHN "marc cohn" cd, 1991.
his debut.
first time hearing this after it was passed on to me last year.
only thing i was familliar with was the classic Walking In Memphis.
was thinking if the other tracks on here are half as good as that one it will be good...
no need to worry, at least four songs are almost the equal to it already and liking the rest.
the above mentioned tune was insterted into the "great American songbook" just three years after its release, and rightfully so.
not a huge fan of Cher by any means but i also really liked her cover of it.
not sure if this guy is a rocker, soft rocker, balladeer, a folk rocker or whatever as he seems to slip with ease into all styles.
sort of has the wordplay, delivery and style of Springteen on a couple of tracks, most noteably on Silver Thunderbird, which could have (if i didnt know better), have been written by The Boss back in the '70s.
all up a fantastic album and Mr Cohn should have been so much more than the preverbial 'one hit wonder'.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
it would be too easy to link the obvious but i'll go for this one i also love:
