Marvin Country!

  There's country, there's alt. country, and there's Marvin Country. It's a magical place, way off the map, populated by back-porch philosophers, hobos, brokenhearted lovers and spacemen and presided over by the man the L.A. Times called "one heck of a songwriter." Grammy award winner Marvin Etzioni has been known over the years as producer (Counting Crows, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Peter Case), sideman (T Bone Burnett, Dixie Chicks, Grey Delisle) and songwriter (Cheap Trick, Victoria Williams) Even before there was No Depression, Marvin was a co-founder of the seminal roots-rockers Lone Justice. It's safe to say Marvin is revered in Americana circles worldwide. "Marvin Country!" is his ambitious fourth album, and first in over a decade. The two-record set hits the streets on 16th April and features Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, John Doe, Richard Thompson, Buddy Miller, Maria McKee, and more. The mandolin man is back. "(Etzioni's) material ranges from stark folk-based tunes to raw Stone's-like rockers."
