Mark Erelli: Blindsided – VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 album from the singer/songwriter. Says Mark, My aptly-titled 12th solo record wrestles with the questions we encounter in the middle, the certain point in life when you reflect on your hopes and dreams and what you thought were certainties. It mines the same gritty yet soulful territory as John Hiatt’s Bring The Family or Bonnie Raitt’s Nick Of Time, contemplating the delicate tension between love and commitment, faith and family, disillusionment and hope. But it isn’t a confession from the therapist’s couch, it’s rock ‘n roll, and I’m happily taking my cues from heroes like Petty and Prine.
