Mastered for vinyl at Abbey Road. Mark Eitzel’s ‘The Ugly American‘ Now Available On Vinyl For The First Time. A lull after the electronically ambient album ‘The Invisible Man‘ (2001) MARK EITZEL’S recording output was followed by two releases: a covers album ‘Music For Courage And Confidence’ (2002) and an album of solo and AMERICAN MUSIC CLUB songs re-interpretations ‘The Ugly American’ (2003) performed by a band with traditional Greek musicians. ‘The Ugly American ‘was originally mooted as an EP after an invitation to Athens, Greece to reinterpret certain songs under the guidance of respected local musician MANOLIS FAMELLOS. The trip to Athens (Greece) materialized in November 2001 and a full-blown 10 track album was agreed. The subsequent album was recorded and released in 2003 on cd only. Seventeen years later, with a rejigged artwork and an Abbey Road cut, ‘The Ugly American ‘is unveiled for the first time on vinyl. The ten tracks cover a varied period of MARK EITZEL’S solo output, the cult band AMERICAN MUSIC CLUB albums, and a sole composition from MANOLIS FAMELLOS (‘Love’s Humming’). All songs were recorded with the addition of traditional Greek instruments (bouzouki, tzouras, Cretan lyra & zournas) under the guidance of MANOLIS FAMELLOS and his band. At a time were AMERICAN MUSIC CLUB albums where hard to obtain re-interpretations of ‘Western Sky’, ‘Last Harbour’ and ‘Jenny’ were treated with effervescence and stunning new arrangements. ‘Anything‘ (originally on ‘The Invisible Man‘) as a stark and bleak electronica track, is now heightened to a majestic instrumentation opus. The album retains the heartfelt tales of sadness that you would expect from self-deprecating MARK EITZEL in a Folk and pastoral context. Before the album was even recorded, the trip to Greece was deemed in certain quarters as controversial, an ‘unnecessary excursion’ with cries of ‘sacrilege’ buoyed on by a skewered conception of Greek music, thus expecting a ‘freak novelty’. Today this beautiful recording is revered for its haunting arrangements and MARK EITZEL’S deep warm and rich vocal delivery. A revisionist detour that casts MARK EITZEL’S impressive song-writing skills in a renewed and sparkling adaptations. “…grace and beauty that few can match” HOT PRESS // “This is not the most obvious coupling… but it’s a beautiful affair nonetheless” TIME OUT // Artist Mark Eitzel Genre Rock And Pop Label Tongue Master Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Side 1 Western Sky Here They Roll Down Jenny Nightwatchman Take Courage Side 2 Anything What Good Is Love Will You Find Me Last Harbor Love's Humming Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Mark Eitzel and more from Rock And Pop On Sale View Product Quick View Mark Eitzel The Ugly American Americana / Country | Tongue Master | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th March 2021 £13.99 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Mark Eitzel The Ugly American £13.99 £20.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Tongue Master SKU: TMASTLP002B Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th March 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Mark Eitzel Hey Mr Ferryman Rock And Pop | Decor | 1LP Released 27th January 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mark Eitzel Hey Mr Ferryman £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Decor SKU: DECOR40LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mark Eitzel Don’t Be A Stranger Americana / Country | Decor | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 24th September 2012 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mark Eitzel Don’t Be A Stranger £22.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Decor SKU: DECOR030LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th September 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Midnight Masses Departures Rock And Pop | Superball Music | 1LP, Includes CD Released 21st July 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Midnight Masses Departures £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Superball Music SKU: 0506631 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 21st July 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gipsy Kings The Best of The Gipsy Kings Rock And Pop | Nonesuch | 2LP Released 7th October 2016 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gipsy Kings The Best of The Gipsy Kings £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Nonesuch SKU: ANON79358 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 7th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Lennon Gimme Some Truth.
