Mark is a truly amazing guitarist, whos speed, and talent is lost on many who dont realize he is usually finger picking. the first time I heard Sultans of swing, i hated it. Then I did some reading on his style, and had new respect, as I was also mainly a finger style guitar player myself.

You can check out more samples of his new work at Stereogum--including some cuts with the likes of Emmy Lou Harris :)

His latest album is done with EmmyLou Harris...all the songs, and it's a real peach.
