Episode 570 - Gary Marks
from The Hustle · host Jon Lamoreaux
How to describe Gary Marks? Deep vinyl junkies might know him for the three albums he released in the 70s that fused jazz and folk in a fresh way that no one had heard before or since. He quickly chose to move on and came back a few years later recording pop rock music very much like you would have heard on the radio in the 80s and 90s. Why this drastic change? Not to mention, he chose early on not to tour or promote himself, meaning he would remain a fiercely independent artist for the long haul. For Record Story Day this weekend, a sampler of his entire career called Crossroads will be released on vinyl for the first time. Gary explains his reasoning for these decisions, how he feels about those 70s albums fetching hundreds of dollars on the secondary market, the many novels he's written, and his love for pickleball. He's a wonderfully eccentric artist who happens to make wholly unique music that will blow your mind. Enjoy! www.garymarksmusic.com www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod
