As I said in my piece, my knowledge of Mark was extremely limited, but I've already begun seeking out the original versions of the songs here Thanks for providing the links. No matter what you think of these cover versions, and I obviously love them, it's the strength of his songwriting that makes this a great album. Thank you.

It comes through that you listened to the album and got turned on. For those interested, the originals, whether Miracle Legion, Polaris, or Mark Mulcahy solo tracks, can be found on Mark's very small indie label (on vinyl, cassette, and CD, and some digital downloads) at: <a href="http://www.mezzotint.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mezzotint.com</a><br><br>Also, you can find all of Mark's solo stuff, Polaris (the songs written for the Nickelodeon TV show "The Adventures of Pete and Pete"), and the tribute album "Ciao" on iTunes, here: <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=330072973&s=143441" rel="nofollow">http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/...</a><br><br>Mark is simply the real deal, a unique songwriter and a wonderful singer.

The album is brilliant, even for a compilation. And if that weren't enough, there are another 20 tracks available as a download when you get the album. Again, all great in their own way. All proceeds go to Mark to help him raise his twin daughters alone, so how can you go wrong? Sweet review, Ken. The album is brilliant, even for a compilation.
