Description
JON-MARKâ€™s enviable skills as a musician are familiar to many due to his leadership of the much-loved Mark-Almond band during the 1970s. Less familiar is his early work as an itinerant folk guitarist and session player in the mid-1960s, the recorded evidence of which expertly showcases a natural and prescient talent. â€¢Top producer Shel Talmy signed the guitarist in 1964 whilst he was making a name as Marianne Faithfullâ€™s accompanist, and prepared a full-length acoustic album, scheduled for release in the autumn of 1965. It remained unreleased until now. â€¢Firmly in the mould of contemporary progressive folk acts like Davy Graham and Bert Jansch, the playlist not only demonstrates Markâ€™s dexterity as an instrumentalist, writer and interpreter, it also features one of the earliest uses of sitar on a British production, upon the title cut. â€¢Sally Free And Easy presents the intended album in order, along with outtakes from the 1965 sessions, as well as Markâ€™s debut 45 â€˜Baby Iâ€™ve Got A Long Way To Goâ€™ (the flip being Markâ€™s original version of the popular mod item â€˜Night Comes Downâ€™). â€¢Transferred from the original master tapes by compiler Alec Palao and packaged with detailed notes and rare images, Sally Free And Easy adds a fascinating and heretofore little-discussed chapter to the Brit-folk movement of the mid-1960s.
