Review:
I stumbled on Marc Jordan one day in the early 90s when I listened to a song called "Coronation Street" that was played by an alternative radio station located at private university. Searched high and low for the release and finally found it on "Reckless Valentine." After one listen, I fell in love with Marc Jordan. Since then, I have had an impossible time finding any music by Marc Jordan through conventional brick-and-mortar stores, but thank goodness for Amazon! Make Believe Ballroom is wonderful! While there are many talented musicians in the marketplace, I would rather listen to 10 minutes of Marc Jordan than 24 hours of someone else! His style may be a bit mellow for some, but not moi!
