  Music Reviews My Christmas Song For You Review
CD Reviews
"Since migrating from Cambridge, Mass to Nashville some three decades ago, Mark Brine has carved out a strong reputation as an uncompromising traditionalist on the country music scene which has made him one of the elder statesmen of Americana."
-- Shaun Dale,
Cosmik Debris Magazine


"I could listen to him sing all night long – he does a good job that boy does."
-- Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree

"A fine young man who I think has a great future."
-- Hank Snow,
Grand Ole Opry


"Brine could easily have been added to the cast of 'O Brother, Where Art Thou' without raising an eyebrow. He belongs to that group of artists whose individuality and quirkiness consign them to the periphery of what's commercially viable. But God bless him for not just being another cog in the musical wheel."
-- James McSweeney,
Flyin Shoes

Fortunes • the Best of Mark Brine ©2004
"Brine has made a long career of flying under the folk/country radar
for a long time and has picked up a bunch of awards and recognition just the same.
A real Americana act,
Brine fuses elements of all the stuff we've been listening to for years that you really can't compare to anything else that’s sure to really draw you under it's spell."
-- Chris Spector,
Midwest Record Recap

"I think Mark Brine must be Americana's best kept secret. A singer/songwriter for over thirty years, friend of the late and legendary pioneer fiddlin' Sid Harkreader, Brine writes wonderful story songs about ordinary people and ordinary places. To tell these stories, Mark has a voice that is as comfortable as a favourite coat."
-- Pete Smith,
Country Music Round Up


"His career has pursued the path of a truly independent artist - someone who follows his soul and does things his own way – his ability to write and produce has made his name synonymous with quality."
-- Doug Floyd, AltCountryTab.com

"I think what makes Mark Brine such a gifted songwriter/storyteller is the fact that he seems to be such an obvious fan of many genres of music. He's someone who is like a sponge when it comes to reintegrating influences into his own work."
-- Gail Worley,
Ink 19
