UK # 17   Disappointing!    The lowest position I can remember for an MK album!   ::)

I really believe that MK is much more highly regarded in other countries than the UK, I'm sorry to say!

This is really strange considering each album getting more and more popular, and Down The Road being very commercialised.

A good result for such a controversial album though. I really hope the next time we'll hear classic MK hitting №1 in all charts!

He's not done any promo on TV yet, only a few magazines and radio shows.  I'm not sure many people regularly buy magazines these days either.

Perhaps the change in direction has alienated the Celtic music fanbase Mark has built up over recent years and some of the earlier fanbase has been lost.  :think

He did Breakfast on TV last week.   

I've been reading the comments on Amazon and although they started very complimentary, they began to deteriorate in the last few days and this one really was mystifying:

One star:
Sublime musicianship, perfect timing, one or two excellent song lyrics and a sound to die for. Pity its one big yawn from start to finish - apart that is from 2 or 3 tracks that have you rushing for the fast-forward because they are so toe-curlingly awful. What a huge disappointment !

I was really thinking about performing songs like on the Ken Bruce show.  I should've been more specific.
