Grammy award winning Marc Cohn burst onto the scene in 1991 with his self-titled hit and the huge single "Walking In Memphis." While he skirts on the edge of country sound, he's still one of That Nashville Sound's favorite artists.Marc Cohn had been out of the studio and the spotlight when he embarked on a multi-city tour in 2002 in the hopes of rekindling his creativity. He got much more than he bargained for. He suffered a gunshot wound to the head during a random carjacking, and while recovering, he witnessed the damage wrought by Hurricane Katrina. The inspiration he'd sought, despite the circumstances, resulted in his first studio record in nine years: Join the Parade.
This set, recorded for National Public Radio (the first show of Mountain Stage's 25th season) begins with "Ghost Train," a song from Cohn's 1991 self-titled debut, which earned him a Grammy for Best New Artist that same year. Two others from that record are also included (Willie Dixon's blues number "29 Ways" and Cohn's hit "Walking in Memphis"), along with The Band-inspired "Listening to Levon" and a tune called "The Calling," from Join the Parade.
