“Newman plays dark, mood laden roots rock Americana that
invokes the sound of Ry Cooder’s earlier work, Lowell
George-era Little Feat and Robin Trowers more laid back
material”.
-YTSE Jam
“Newman presents solidly constructed, bare bones pop songs.
Catchy in an Allman Bros. kind of way, they swing and groove
comfortably in and around each other...Overall, a solid
engaging bit of American songwriting”.
-The Aquarian Weekly
“If there is a complaint I have with Mark Newman’s latest
release, Must Be A Pony‚ it is that it is too short”.
-All Access
“Mark Newman has delivered an album full of memorable
songs which recall the best of bands such as Little Feat,
Lynyrd Skynyrd and the melodic side of The Allman
Brothers, resulting in a fantastic listen for fans of those
artists, or quality rock as well”.
-Rock N Roll Universe
“Fans of 70’s styled guitar rock rejoice‚ there’s a new
hero in town and his name is Mark Newman. Newman
carries on the tradition with style. The man can rock and pull
the blues out of his guitar. This is one of the best albums of
the year for the genre”.
-Music Street Journal
“Newman creates musical environments that surround his
poetic lyrics in tasty soundscape vistas that accentuate but
never intimidate this message, mainly that no matter how
cynical the adult in one gets, the answer lies in attempting to
rediscover the unbridled optimism of childhood”.
-Exclusive Magazine
“With a deep voice perfect for blues and Southern rock,
Newman seems poised to take the reins as the next rough and
tough grassroots superstar”.
