Gary Marks, “Thoughts of Why” album:
“Participants include John Scofield, Art Lande (Rubisa Patrol), Paul McCandless (Oregon), and others. This is the culmination of Gary Marks’ 70s trilogy, following his now classic first album ‘Gathering’ and his second album ‘Upon Oanda’s Wing.’
”This album is a masterpiece that, along with his first two albums, have influenced the record-buying lives of many music listeners. His music and lyrics were far ahead of their time. Such an important musician. Such an important work.” — Soichiro Suzuki / World Standard, 2013
“Marks is a meticulous craftsman, injecting his modern rock sound with interesting harmonic subtleties and powerful lyrics. —San Francisco Bay Guardian,”
“Marks watches the rainforests fall and the boardrooms carve up the map with a heartbreak that feels earned.”
