"I've only had one "celebrity crush" in my life, and Mark Lindsay was it, so this "2 LPs on 1 CD" is a sentimental journey back in time.Though this is pure 70's "pop" and sounds dated by today's standards, it's a smooth and lovely CD...perhaps music of this era needs another 20 years to go by to be fully appreciated, when singers like Mark and other fine musicians like The Carpenters will be thought of as "vintage" rather than "dated".Mark has a warm and sensitive style, and a wonderful sound..."Arizona" was the biggest hit for him on this collection, but he shines in songs that were popular 30 years ago like "Something", "Sunday Morning Comin' Down", and many more.A rare and beautiful soul who is so giving to his fans, hearing Mark's voice brings back memories of how incredibly kind he was to a very shy fan (me)...meeting him was truly a highlight of my life.The little booklet insert has a brief history of Paul Revere & the Raiders, and Mark's early solo career...for fans who want more, check out marklindsay.com, his informative and very up-to-date website.GOD BLESS MARK, MAY HE LIVE LONG AND PROSPER !"

A Must-Have CD

"Unfortunately many wrote Mark Lindsay off as simply a teen idol, but he is one of the most talented men in rock history - a great composer, arranger and producer and also possessing probably the second most versatile voice (behind Elvis) of the rock era. That voice is in fine form on these recordings. "Arizona" and "Silverbird" are his best known solo songs, but his great rendition of Neil Diamond's "And the Grass Won't Pay No Mind" as well as lesser known songs such as "Miss America" and "Man from Houston" make this a must-have CD for anyone who appreciates a great rock ballad."

He will steal your heart again!

"The music in this CD takes me way back, Mark Lindsay was my constant companion, (through the headphones and in my dreams!) for some shy and awkward but also wonderful years! I loved and knew every word to all of the Raider songs, got to see him live one magical night in 1968, and followed his career after he went solo. This very gifted and talented man wrote and sang about things we all felt, and made a connection through his music that I still feel! He had the gift of belting out smoky-voiced rock and roll, or almost whispering a lullaby, always with such wonderful emotion! This CD will remind you of all those great old times, and you'll enjoy hearing those feelings again! And Mark, if you're out there, I still love you - thank you so much!"
