Mark Wise Leaving L.A. CD - Import

Mark Wise ‚Leaving L.A.’An invitation to play at the Moab Utah Folk Festival in November 2005 with additional club gigs in Colorado and California took singer/songwriter Mark Wise and his Swiss guitarist/producer Andi Gisler to the US where enthusiastic audience response to their performances provided the push they needed to finally start working on a new CD.The result is ‚Leaving L.A.’, a collection of songs that paints a musical landscape of America fron the deserts of the southwest (Blue Mountain) to the California coast (Best Part Bout Remembering) to the prohibition era midwest (Sallisaw) , to mention three of the twelve tunes included here.Mark and Andi, along with a fine group of musicians and Mark’s long time singing partner, the wonderful Rebekka Dold, have done an excellent job of mixing lovely balads with good time rockers which will surely delight fans of what the press has decided to call ‚Americana’. We rather call it plain ol’ good music.
