In this One deep river album, Mark is singing better and better. Especially in Mr Solomons said.


I would have loved Mark to sing A night in summer long ago (in my opinion vocally failed) with his current voice !

I find funny how much he highlights that he's a songwriter than a guitar player or than anything else, I don't find that he's a better songwriter than the one who wrote Sultans, Tunnel, Telegraph or Brothers, very back in the day, actually I'd say that he's now just a songwriter as he's not that guitar player anymore, but everytime he says that seems that he's like waiting the Nobel Prize of Literature, like Dylan.

I agree and I've wondered the same. Why is he so obsessed about telling people that he's only a songwriter nowadays. I feel like that is something people sort of deduce by themselves, just by listening what kind of music he's been doing since 1996.

I think that there a prize that Mk pursuits is the Composers Hall Of Fame.
About the "songwriter first", I think that he is telling to himself that he is unable to play like he used to play and he is telling to the press that he dont practice anymore because COVID or age.
He is a terrific songwriter? Oh yes.
But his signature is the combination by his voice and guitar. His magic is between his lyrics, singing and playing.

Well, it's a gently way to say that he is with health issues.
Unfornunately, he is not aging fisically well.

Seeing his TV Show and watch Tom Jones (80yo) and Carlos (76yo), it is a pity to see MK aging the way he does. I will not talk about Eric (79yo) and John McLaughlin(82yo).

I am not complain.
ODR is very well sung and played. MK made a HUGE effort to deliver the album. And is great to see him promoting it (even when he tells the same stories)
It is a pity to see our favorite artist unable to deliver it that the way he used to.
