Crossroads gathers that arc into one body of work, including nine previously unreleased songs. The songs on each side of the record are chronological, starting with songs from 1976 and ending with songs in the 2020s. Selected as an official Record Store Day release, this limited vinyl pressing traces the continuity of a songwriter whose voice has remained steady and powerful from the 1970s to the present. In the 1980s, he decided to stop touring and stepped out of the industry spotlight. But he never stopped writing — he only stopped playing the game.    Crossroads is a rare chance to discover a songwriter whose work bridges generations, and reminds listeners why albums -- and ideas -- still matter.     Lantern Heights Records proudly presents some of Marks's most musically masterful, lyrically powerful works from 1976 to 2021, including a number of rare tracks. With great insight and concern about humanity's path forward, Crossroads speaks to the times we live in.

Crossroads     Gary Marks Bio: Gary Marks is an American singer-songwriter whose work has avoided industry demands, guided by artistic autonomy. He first emerged in the 1970s with three albums featuring musicians who would later become major figures in modern jazz, including guitarist John Scofield in his first-ever studio appearance, along with Paul McCandless (Oregon), Art Lande (ECM), David Samuels, and Mark Isham. Those early vinyl recordings were later reissued seven times in Europe and Japan over the course of a decade. These albums are now considered cult classics among vinyl collectors. Over the following decades, Marks continued writing and recording steadily, releasing eight additional undistributed albums while remaining outside conventional touring and promotional structures. Across his catalogue runs a consistent thematic thread: democracy, environmental responsibility, cultural fracture, a connection to love in its highest form, and personal conscience — while using sophisticated harmonies and rhythms.   GARY MARKS LINKS Website | Instagram | YouTube | Facebook
