About this album

Mark-Almond is a finely balanced 1971 debut that brought jazz-rock sophistication into a more intimate, song-led setting. Formed by Jon Mark and Johnny Almond after their work with John Mayall, the duo drew on acoustic detail, blues feeling and improvisational freedom to create a sound that sat between jazz, rock and folk without feeling forced. The album’s thoughtful arrangements and expressive performances helped establish Mark-Almond as one of the more distinctive crossover acts of the era, with songs such as The Ghetto and Song For You showing both their melodic gift and their willingness to stretch form.

Genre: Pop & Rock
