Mark Doyle: Watching the Detectives

Subtitled Guitar Noir III, this album has Mark Doyle on guitars, drums, bass and drum programming in order to create moods that conjure up images of Gloria Graham, Edmund O’Brien and Bogie. Long dark shadows echo on the ”Detectives Medley” that even includes sounds from the TV Show “Get Smart.” A 60s Farfisa adds shark skin suit moods to “Man From UNCLE” and a hip take of “Kojak” shows who really loves, ya, baby. Doyle’s guitar work is reminiscent of Johnny Smith on the clean take of “America Drinks and Goes Home” with a fuzzy blues tone on the shuffling “Johnny Staccato” A handful of originals keep the sepia toned mood, with a closing and reflective “Everytime” playing out to the closing credits. Stay tuned next week!
