View from the High Road

(1999)

Mark’s fourth album is named after the Telkwa Hi Road, a gravel backroad which runs for 43 kilometres through the Bulkley Valley and is riddled with as many potholes as it is with crazy stories and characters – like Steve and Rosie.

He co-produced the album with fellow “Smithereen” and percussionist Richard Jenne at “The Glass Elevator” recording studio which is “in the basement of a really old house” in Vancouver. Musicians include Perry (guitar and vocals), Mike Lent (bass), Tobin Frank (accordian, also a Smitherine), Richard Jenne (percussion), Vince Ditrich (drum), David Kershaw (hammond organ ), and Andreas Schuld (guitar).
