The Portable Infinite: “70’s Cult Jazz Rock Hero Gary Marks Shares Bonus Track, New LP On Vinyl + All DSPs For Record Store Day,” May 2026
“For five decades, Gary Marks has written songs about power, compassion, and freedom — themes that feel strikingly current in 2026. Crossroads gathers that arc into one body of work, including nine previously unreleased songs. The songs on each side of the record are chronological, starting with songs from 1976 and ending with songs in the 2020s.
Selected as an official Record Store Day release, this limited vinyl pressing traces the continuity of a songwriter whose voice has remained steady and powerful from the 1970s to the present. In the 1980s, he decided to stop touring and stepped out of the industry spotlight. But he never stopped writing — he only stopped playing the game.”
