ABOUT THIS ALBUM


Album Notes
Mike Marshall is one of the world's most accomplished and versatile acoustic musicians, a master of mandolin, guitar and violin whose playing is as imaginative and adventurous as it is technically thrilling. Able to swing gracefully from jazz to classical to bluegrass to Latin styles, he puts his stamp on everything he plays with an unusually potent blend of intellect and emotion, a combination of musical skill and instinct rare in the world of American vernacular instrumentalists.

As Mike himself says regarding Midnight Clear, "When the holidays arrived and Christmas carols were everywhere, I started playing around with these old chestnuts. They are such a part of our culture and subconscious that I felt a tremendous freedom to explore variations with the harmony and rhythm of each song. Having always been a part of an ensemble of some sort, it was an adventure being left alone in a room with just a guitar and a couple of microphones."

For something different...
Mike takes the standard holiday fare and weaves a personal touch through each song so that there are just hints of the original melody complimented well by his improvisational style. In fact, the music is so intimate, you thought he was just playing for you and you alone. Don't try to sing along with these tunes, you'll get nowhere, and that's fine. Most of these carols are overplayed as it is, but Mike's articulate guitar playing and natural ability to take the conventional in personal directions works so nicely. A very casual and enjoyable change from the usual - well done!
