r.i.p. sparklehorse’s mark linkous
It is with sadness that I learnt of the death of Mark Linkous today – some of the music he recorded as ‘Sparklehorse’ provided much inspiration for me.
Below is a cover of one of his songs ‘Happy Man’ I recorded a few years ago with Iain Macleod on banjo. Aplogise for the slight american twang in my delivery, I was still finding my voice back then!
