For others, it’s survival: a rough hewn path to solace and personal salvation. -- -- A little melodramatic, perhaps. But not in the case of Mark Cline Bates. -- -- Bates is a curious sort. An old soul, for sure. He has a storyteller’s eye for detail, a reverence for the past, and journeyman’s sense of adventure. At 30, his “resume” – what he’s done and experienced in life – is quite remarkable. -- -- The Bates’ family has been in West Virginia for four generations. Mark grew up fixing fence and cutting hay on the family farm in Putnam County and his character reflects those basic values. His accomplishments are as much a result of his dedication and strong work ethic as they are his talent. -- -- His songs document his personal travails and growth, always thoughtfully and sometime audaciously. Meanwhile, at every turn, he’s had to sidestep the demons that have haunted his family for decades. -- -- And it’s that range of experience – with its high peaks and deep valleys – that gives his songs depth and makes them compelling. -- -- (Source: Artist PR) - Total Running Time: 46:23 - UPC: 888295899529 - The Amazon ASIN for the mp3 version of this CD is B07SYDJ26W - Another listing by Zip
