“Marshall deftly weaves a bit of
rockabilly with a twang and a rock beat. This winning combination showcases his
solid songwriting and guitar skills.” – Guitar World
Austin-based musician Craig Marshall believes that as a songwriter, he’s only as good as
his next song. Fortunately, the prolific Marshall
always seems to have a next song on tap, with a songbook that goes back
thirty-plus years. The latest entry into
Marshall’s discography is his sixth
album After All, arriving via Big
Ticket Records on August 7th. The album’s first single “Something On Your Mind” can be heard
now via Guitar
World.
The record is Marshall’s
second outing with producer (and longtime Marshall
admirer), Robert Harrison, leader of
the critically acclaimed band, Cotton
Mather.
“Craig Marshall
has always kept his artistic sights trained on the loftiest of goals,” comments
Harrison. “That is to craft songs that are immediate,
timeless, and classic.” Indeed, the
songs on After All show off Marshall’s
gift for penning and performing the kinds of tunes that helped
country-inflected folk to eventually become the Americana genre. His
longstanding status as a well-kept secret speaks to his influence, while his
skills transcend genre at the same time.
“I’m hearing Buck
Owens or Merle Haggard in my
head when I’m writing a song like ‘After
All’ or ‘The Only Sound,’” Marshall says, but in fact, two of After
All’s centerpieces, the single “Something
On Your Mind” and “Only Till The End
of Time” navigate firmly in the Petty-Beatles lane.
Marshall’s love of The
Beach Boys and The Bee Gees can
also be heard, and over the years, critics have cited artists as diverse as Badfinger, Marshall Crenshaw and XTC
when describing Marshall. The songs on
After All do show these influences, but ultimately a Marshall fan will hear a
Marshall song, and the uninitiated will be treated to a warm, familiar sound
that plays unique and fresh.
Marshall will embark on a short tour of the Finger Lakes
region in upstate New York later this month.
He will be joined by longtime friend and guitarist, Steve Novelli, a Knoxville-based master guitar builder and player, and Novelli’s nephew Joe Novelli on slide guitar.
See below for dates.

All by Craig Marshall arrives on August
