If I had to explain what folk music is, I would say it is the popular music that comes directly from the ancestors and has been orally given from generation to generation It is also a kind of music that does not have commercial purposes, because its main purpose is to make people participate and give benefits to all members of a community Mark Harrison is a pure folk singer and guitar player who writes his own songs Since he appeared in London music scene, his music immediately called the attention of the audience, thanks to the originality of his compositions, all featuring a great rhythmic sound and a lot of twist The folk with blues details Mark Harrison plays covers a wide varied range of subjects, because he carefully hawks eyes daily-life situations He also has a distinctive style and sound and he naturally controls finger picking technique, both when he plays twelve strings guitar or his 1934 National resonator Mark Harrison is backed by Charles Benfield double bass, Ryan Carr mandolin, Will Greener harmonica, Ed Hopwood drums and Josienne Clarke vocals If you want to enjoy some folk music that will give you tenderness, beauty and poetry, then this cd is especially devoted to you
