Praise for Only Sky
They say country music is three chords and the truth, but only a few people sing like they embody that and Mark Currey is one of them. His recent EP Only Sky is full of characters in search of redemption, and Currey makes you believe in the concept all anew.

Praise for Tarrant County
"...a stark look at the nature of human frailty and failure, and the effects it leaves on his protagonists and their loved ones. It is, at times, a brutal assessment, but Currey prefers to go for honesty over happy endings and easy morality plays."
"...a truly monumental effort. Currey is a consummate storyteller who knows how to pull all the right strings in all the right ways.
"...combines masterful songwriting and refreshingly accomplished musicianship with a voice that’s as comforting as your best childhood memory. ...an essay in Americana."

Stephanie Smittle ~ Arkansas Times
"...a highly personal collection of well-crafted country, a reflective meditation on belonging, the South, relationships and coming to terms with one's own identity."
