    for Karrie
    Words and Music by Mark Brine*
    © Mark Brine Music 2003


    "Mark Brine must be Americana's best kept secret ... I tell you,
    I am absolutely knocked out by 'for Karrie' and its warm stories
    and beautiful picking." -- Pete Smith, Country Music Round Up

    "Real Americana Music" -- New York Street Beat

    "Listen closely to this CD and you will hear what roots songwriting is all about."
    -- Roots Music Report

    "His songs are superior studies of love, life and times past. You may think he's
    just another New England folksinger, but there's some genuine country roots
    music going on here." -- Freight Train Boogie

    "Brine could easily have been added to the cast of 'O Brother,
    Where Art Thou' without raising an eyebrow." -- James McSweeney,
    Flyin Shoes

    "Brine knows his stuff well enough to know that there was a time in this country
    when blues, country, jazz, gospel and popular song were not nearly as isolated
    from each other as they are today." -- Baltimore City Paper

    "His career has pursued the path of a truly independent artist - someone who
    follows his soul and does things his own way ... his ability to write and produce
    has made his name synonymous with quality." -- AltCountryTab.com

    "Check this guy out and then you'll see what Hank Snow, the Grand Ole Opry
    and the Grammy Awards people are talking about." -- Boston Sound Check

    "He's got his finger on the pulse of America, and he is what
    country music might have evolved to had it had the chance
    to do it normally." -- Bob Everhart, Tradition Magazine

    "Wild Blue Yodeler" -- Billboard

    "Brine's got the moaning / yodeling vocals down cold." -- CMJ

    "Opry-worthy." -- Village Voice

    "Forget comparisons to Dylan, Guthrie ... this is pure Mark
    Brine, pouring out every ounce of emotion and bleeding
    from the heart with a double shot of Americana you won't
    soon forget." -- Eddie Russell, Outlaw for Peace Radio

    A romantic piece of enduring love and commitment. David Russell, formerly with Box Car Willie, filled in for longtime player Linda Joseph who had broken her wrist the day before the sessions. Now a session musician in Nashville, he did a top-rate job, flat out.

    An all too familiar tale of the junior-high wallflower beautifully illustrated with a 50s type calypso beat and waltzing chorus. Musically, a sort of country version of "Under the Boardwalk". Lyrically, a Norman Rockwell print come to life.

    A song of death, rebirth and hope and a stunning finale to the CD featuring Art Labriola on piano. Mark first met Art through the late Tom Pomposello and had the great fortune of touring with the two of them in Europe. Art and Tom founded the New York based studio band, Oil Can, also featured on mp3. Check it out.

    This recording features the late, great Tom Pomposello on bottle-neck guitar. Tom was a protege of Mississippi Fred McDowell and played bass for him for years and went on to become a great bottle-neck blues player in his own right. Tom produced this session and we really had a good time cutting this one. Cooked!
