Known primarily as an illustrator of prestigious publications (The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, American Illustration, etc.). and children's books, as a singer and musician Marcellus Hall linked his name and became know in the early nineties as leader of bands like Railroad Jerk and White Hassle . Like other artists of his generation also Hall, after leaving some 'rush' rock of the past decided to wear the mantle inbracciare Dylan and the acoustic guitars for a sound groove on the more traditional folk music stars and stripes. ''''The First Line (Glacial Place, 2011) [ here], his debut solo album, confirms this renewed attitude, and do it in the best way, beautiful songs, sound classic, bare arrangements (guitar, harmonica and a little more) and balanced, lyrics about relationships and human losses in a sarcastic tone. For not too separate the two professional fields, the CD is also appreciated for a booklet of 44 pages through which you can admire the artist as an illustrator and not only for the quality (which certainly does not lack) of its songs.
