Meet Mark Gothard

Mark has just completed Mr. Butterfly. Here he is to comment about the project:

Mr. Butterfly is a very special album to me. It's very personal, and I feel has been very healing to me (although brutal too, in dealing with all the feelings associated with painful memories). Terry Bailey, my Huckleberry, really was awesome in coming up with original ideas and choices in shaping the face of the album, taking a lot of the load off of me. It's a more "conventional" album being acoustic guitar and vocal based, but still is very much *me* retaining the more strange elements displayed in my past four albums. I really put everything into this album, and now I'm exhausted. I think I'll go to bed for a year. Goodnight.
