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 Kim Richey Edgeland Americana / Country | Yep Roc | 1LP Released 20th April 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kim Richey Edgeland £20.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2569 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Leif Vollebekk New Ways Americana / Country | Secret City Records | 1LP Released 1st November 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Leif Vollebekk New Ways £23.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Secret City Records SKU: SCR91LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Doug Tuttle Peace Potato Americana / Country | Trouble In Mind | 1LP Released 19th May 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Doug Tuttle Peace Potato £19.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Trouble In Mind SKU: TIM119LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bria Cuntry Covers Vol. 2 Americana / Country | Sub Pop | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th February 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bria Cuntry Covers Vol. 2 £20.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1523X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Giant Sand The Sun Set Volume 1 Americana / Country | Fire Records | 8LP, Box Set Released 1st September 2017 £51.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Giant Sand The Sun Set Volume 1 £51.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Fire Records SKU: FAME007LP Formats: 8LP, Box Set Released Date: 1st September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Bloodshot Records’ 13 Days Of Xmas Americana / Country | Bloodshot | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th November 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Bloodshot Records’ 13 Days Of Xmas £17.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Bloodshot SKU: BS260LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Country Americana / Country | UMC | 2LP Released 15th November 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Country £18.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: UMC SKU: 5389092 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 15th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Palace Music Viva Last Blues Americana / Country | Domino | 1LP Released 27th February 2012 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Palace Music Viva Last Blues £13.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Domino SKU: REWIGLP83 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th February 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jim White Vs.
