Just listened to the unreleased track "You don't wanna get you one of those", which Tommy Emmanuel plays live, and made me think about what the possible style of the new/forthcomming album could be. Somehow I get the feeling the next album might be a very jazzy album. I remember Mark once said that he liked the Norah Jones album. As we know Mark is a guy with a vision and he probably realizes that it becomes time for something else then country, folk and blues.
What do you guys and gals think? And would you like MK to put out a jazz album?
I think this TE collaboration has nothing to do with the new album, it just happened that Mark had a suitable song laying in a drawer, which makes me think he have so much brilliant songs just laying around...
Older people seems to became more jazzy by default for some reason, you can find jazz in recent Sting's albums, Paul Simon, Paul McCartney... I don't know why, I always was a jazz nerd right from the childhood, so any Mark's jazz efforts I enjoy very much. In fact, my favourite song of his, The Ragpicker's Dream, is one of his jazziest tunes ever.
I want to hear more jazz, more waltzes, more double bass and strings. Rock'n'Roll? Not so much...
