Tom Geddie's 25 Favourite Texas Related CDs of 2011 CONSISTENTLY SATISFYING, close-to-the-earth singer songwriter who plows reality with a finely honed sense of irony. He shares a somewhat existential rural outlook filled with hardships to overcome or not, conjuring cattle rustling, snowstorms, gambling everything on a single chance, and, yes, even a bit of man-woman love Tom Geddie, Buddy Magazine, January, 2012 Taproot Radio Best of 2011 The Texas highways are littered with the discarded Texan songwriters who failed the authenticity sniff test. But veteran singer Mark Jungers has survived, writing songs that fit the here and now of rural Texas without sounding cheap or pandering. My focus tracks are "Show Me A Sign," "Wasn't Thinking," "50 Head", and "Drive." Calvin Powers, TaprootRadio.com, December 15th, 2011  Texas Music Scene Best Songs of 2011 Mark Jungers - Riverdown (More Like A Good Dog Than A Bad Cat)- Jungers is a songwriter of often astonishing depth and focus, so maybe it's odd that the one that sticks with me the most off of the new album is one of its most cheery, upbeat, sing-songy numbers. The whole album's terrific, but charmers like this one hold the heavier stuff together (there's a metaphor for life there somewhere...)

"Aside from Mark's already proven strong songwriting and his passionate, honest delivery, what sets him apart is that he, along with The Whistling Mules, have created a unique sound that's stands out from anything else around. The playing is not only tight and energetic, but their use of instruments is brilliantly creative." PHOTO CREDITS Steve Circeo, Jenny Blair, Mike Galloway, John Duff, newlostworld. |
