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 Americana / Country Label Tongue Master Buying Options 180g 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 180g , 1LP , Coloured Vinyl 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 Americana / Country View Product Quick View Mark Eitzel The Ugly American Rock And Pop | Tongue Master | 180g, 1LP Released 14th August 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mark Eitzel The Ugly American £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Tongue Master SKU: TMASTLP002 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th August 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders 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 Johnny Cash With His Hot & Blue Guitar / Sings The Songs That Made Him Famous Americana / Country | Vinyl Passion | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd February 2024 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Johnny Cash With His Hot & Blue Guitar / Sings The Songs That Made Him Famous £16.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Vinyl Passion SKU: VPL90046 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sturgill Simpson Cuttin’ Grass – Vol. 2 (Cowboy Arms Sessions) Americana / Country | High Top Mountain Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd April 2021 £18.00 Select options Sturgill Simpson Cuttin’ Grass – Vol. 2 (Cowboy Arms Sessions) £18.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: High Top Mountain Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd April 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Shelby Lynne Tears, Lies & Alibis Americana / Country | Everso | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 11th November 2010 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Shelby Lynne Tears, Lies & Alibis £22.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Everso SKU: EVER170 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 11th November 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Ryan Martin Gimme Some Light Americana / Country | High Moon | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 21st September 2023 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Ryan Martin Gimme Some Light £12.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: High Moon SKU: nn272260 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 21st September 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View John Vincent III Songs For The Canyon Americana / Country | Concord | 1LP Released 17th November 2023 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Vincent III Songs For The Canyon £30.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Concord SKU: 7253763 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Country Funk Volume III 1975-1982 Americana / Country | Light In The Attic | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 6th August 2021 £35.00 -
