Mark Linskey
"Stay Hard, Stay Hungry, Stay Alive"

Released in 2003

Mark Linskey is the lead singer of the New Jersey band, Hudson Falcons. This is my favorite of his solo albums. It's highlighted by a trio of covers (Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springseen) with some very good originals (and songs previously recorded by the Hudson Falcons). He's like a gritty, veteran singer-songwriter where every word uttered seems like a confession from a guy who's lived it before.
