Reviews:
Rhythm of the Rustbelt is Americana like a cross-country road trip - the soundtrack to a summer sunrise over a dusty,
forlorn Route 66. ‘Real Men Dig Their Own Graves’ is a beat-driven, boot-stomper atoned with Duval’s best
rendition of Tom Waits’ graveled vocals... The album is earthy, candid and nostalgic - everything an Americana album
should be. Reviewer: - Dustin Walsh, Nightlife / Music Writer, On the Town Magazine; Creem Magazine

Review by Lorraine Caron, host of Grassroots, WMUK 102.1 Mark Duval’s “Rhythm of the Rustbelt”
Who IS this
guy and where did he come from? - mature songwriting, wonderfully tasteful arrangements, and naturally pleasing voices draw
you in...This stuff has it all…it’s genuine, catchy, thought-provoking and fun. Throughout the album, violin,
percussion and clarinet are used sparingly and with great effect. Harmony singer Traci Seuss is feelin’ it, and
her parts add even more substance and soul to the sound.
