Mark Huff Mark Huff took five years to record his third record, Skeleton Faith , even going so far as to trash a complete album's worth of material just to make sure it all felt right. Well, Huff's perfectionism has more than paid off. And now he's getting a little love from the hometown crowd. Huff more than deserves it. It's a simple enough song, only a few chords actually.
Few people can make something so difficult look so casual.
While Automatic Taxi Star has only been playing out for a few months, Tiffany Fredianelli's latest sugary pop product has already made an impact. Nothing is romanticized. Huff just pulls characters out of the casinos and alleyways, dive bars and side streets, and builds a rich story around them, one that we can all see ourselves starring in. Seductive as it is simple, it's hard to keep from singing along. But if this is what happens with only one album on the shelves, wait until Emerson and Shindog release their second disc this fall.
