| Mario Tarradell, Dallas Morning News November, 2000 "The Ambrose Way" In the sometimes catch-all world of Texas country music, Austin-based Mark Ambrose aims to define his style. Mr. Ambrose is a singer-songwriter with a personal, relaxed approach that sits somewhere between country and folk. Think of him as a lighter, more accessible Townes Van Zandt with a honky-tonk edge. On his just-released second CD, Shadow on the Moon, Mr. Ambrose offers 10 tracks built around his acoustic guitar work and lyrics that convey quiet emotions. Songs such as the title track,a ballad cushioned by a gentle violin, showcase Mr. Ambrose's way with simple words and spare melodies. |
| Mario Tarradell, Dallas Morning News January, 2003 Since the release of his second CD, 2000's quiet yet powerful Shadow on the Moon, Austin-based Mark Ambrose has been keeping lofty company. He recorded his upcoming third album in Nashville at the legendary Studio B (where hits by Elvis, Roy Orbison and the Everly Brothers were created) with Grammy winners Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. The record should be in stores come springtime. |
