Perfect...pure texas at 2004-08-26
Finally, my prayers are answered. A Texas artist that dosnt come from a cookie cutter R.E.K or Jerry Jeff. This album is all around outstanding.Every song is hard hitting and explosive. The writing, the band, and the twang. This is exactly what the texas music scene needs...PURE TALENT!

Breaking Through at 2003-04-03
Mark Jungers Black Limousine set is a great breakthrough for this country rocker. I apparently have an earlier version of the release; the cover showing Mark sitting in front of a tractor and the release date 2000. However, the music is the same sweet set. The opener sounds like a countrified Tequila Sunrise with a nice midtempo groove, If you meet me at the corner, the streetlights are bright enough to find everything we ever wanted somewhere further down the line. Lonesome Fool is a Dillards-like bluegrass track with Rachel Dreas fiddle giving a mountain music feel. You and the Wind has a beautiful melody with a wonderful sense of longing, Its the same old drive, pillars of steam holding up the skyline like everyday before, sort of makes you feel like maybe someday youll leave it all behind. With its acoustic guitar, Too Tired to Cry has an early John Prine flavor. Freightliner is a great country toe tapper. One of the more subtle tracks that shines with repeated listenings is the slow ballad I Will Be Free, Just like the gambler only has himself to blame, just like you Im here to stay, when I stir I make amends, with my time I will transcend, and I know the same place for me, watching shadows on the wall, I know it aint my call, but one day I will be free. Ballad of Mr. Underwood is a toe tapper in Johnny Cash territory; What More Can I Do is country swing. On Treat You Right Mark gets a little sass going on this country boogie. The CD concludes with Broken Watch, a sweet but pitiful country rocker Even a broken watch is right twice a day. With 16 strong tracks, this is a varied and great alt-country set. Seek and you shall find! Enjoy!

This CD has everything on it. Some of it sounds like early Ozark Mountain Daredevils, some of it sounds like Dylan, some of it sounds like something Joe Ely would do, and some of it sounds like Steve Earle. But it is all very original material, Mark did not just sit there and copy some cliches. This is music for people who have enough brains to enjoy great lyrics. I very highly recommend this CD.

Mark Jungers Band Album Review:
Mellow and Exciting at 2000-05-15
I bought this CD just to see what it would be like. But after listening to it, I just had to write this review. I have nerver heard anything like it before, its country, rock and roll, blues, and folk music all rolled up into one. This CD is both mellow and exciting. It gives you a good feeling when you listen to it. I think its due to the hard work, experience and feeling that went into it. The song Ballad of Mr Underwood just makes me want to get up and dance. Buy this CD and you wont be sorry.

Refreshing entertainment at 2000-02-11
It was so nice to hear something that I could understand without someone screaming their warped psycho babble at me. The songs seem to be well written and the lyrics are clean ad simple. I only gave it 4 stars because there is always room for improvement. That is unless you are Steve Earle. Broken Watch takes such a simple idea and turns it into a catchy little tune. I bet Mr. Earle never thought of a song like that. The whole CD is very enjoyable and well worth it. What a bargain at less than a buck a song.
