For over five decades, American singer-songwriter Gary Marks has written about political freedom, protecting the environment, and social consciousness.
At this crossroads in history, Lantern Heights Records is proud to present an album of Marks's most musically masterful, lyrically powerful works.
Each side of the album progresses chronologically from the 1970s to the present. Included are a number of rare tracks never before heard by the general public.
Crossroads is a tribute to a songwriter whose timeless work reflects many of the challenges we face today.
Marks's lyrics explore not only politics and the fragile path of freedom, but the personal choices that shape our lives and affect our future.
REVIEWS:
“Gary Marks was, and still is, a truly unique voice in rock — and therefore was ignored by the industry power brokers who, to this day, only think in dollar bills, not artistry.”
“Marks shows a knack for combining a catchy and memorable song with mature and often brilliant lyrics about love, relationships, and finding a place in the world. . .always a rare thing in the world of commercial music.”
“Marks is a meticulous craftsman, injecting his modern rock sound with interesting harmonic subtleties and powerful lyrics.”
