"This 4th release from Mark Germino is "acoustic", but don't let that fool you. It's heavy handed, pointed, and cuts to the bone with insight and lyrical genious that only M.G. can pull off. Because Mark Germino is so overtly ignored in popular music, his records never stay available for long. So, do what I do. Don't buy one copy, buy two... and shelf it for the next generation in your family. He's Amazing."

Rank & File is as good as alt-country gets!

"Mark Germino is so under-rated it hurts. This CD is as fine a collection of stripped-down roots-rock as I've heard. I have all of his CD's and this one is one of his finest. It's more intimate than his others, and yet each song is as powerful and emotional as any rock tune. "Felix Tucker's Biggest Lie" could be made into a movie. "Black Angel Cure" is powerful. "Drivin' Across America" sounds like a bonified alt-country hit to me. Why are artists like Mark Germino ignored? Maybe because his songs contain the unpainted truth! Buy this CD. You won't be disappointed."

Unknown Gem!!

"I stumbled into this CD by mere chance! I have ca.900 CD's, but this is the one I play the most just now. My friends, all hard veterans when it comes to music, envy me "Rank and File". How on earth is Mark Germino unknown to the musical world? His voice has a raw,real sound, which can NOT be said of 99% of the singers today."
