MARC LEON - "Horizons".
The music on this Instrumental CD runs
the gamut of styles that influenced
me over the years - Jazz, Rock, Blues,
Fusion, Latin, Ambient, Acoustic ...,
not only is each track different, there
are mood changes within most of the
songs as well. In short, it's a
Marketing Person's nightmare, but don't
be put off by that.

"Whipping Post manage to combine my fave elements from Johnny Winter and the Allman Brothers, but put their own stamp on it,
whether it's foot stompin' rockin' blues or a moody piece. This album is awesome!" Max Crawdaddy - 3RRR FM.
"Damn The Distance" documents Whipping Post and their rugged pastoral vision. Drawing heavily from the sound of southern American rock,
the original compositions work the genre well. These guys score a swag of points in my book, because this is the best jam it in the CD player-and-
driiiiiive album I've heard all year!"Stephen Andrews - Rhythms Magazine.
"Listening to this CD, the southern sound is very prominent. Marc Leon's Country/Chicago Blues guitar sound acts as a counter balance to Ray Flegg's
great slide work, similar to the dual guitars in the Allman Brothers Band. The voices of Marc and Rob also work well together. Given that the band's
music sounds American, it is refreshing to hear lyrics with a strong Australian flavour."
Dave Ray - Beat Magazine.

MARC LEON
"The Power Of The Blues".
For me, the "Blues" is about "Feeling", not "Style" and that's what this album is all about. The songs on this CD encompass a diversity of the genre, from driving Hard Rock to smooth Jazz ballads. Brian and I used two rhythm sections,to add to the authenticity of the music.

The first session was recorded 'Live' in the studio (including vocals), while the second one was more structured and layered with over-dubs. In retrospect, I believe I managed to "hold the feeling" throughout, thanks to the great musicians who supported me on this project. - Marc Leon.

MARC LEON is very addictive. He rocks with the best of them. If you can listen to his CD & not move to his music, go see a doctor, you need a
checkup. Great music to dance to, move to or just listen to. Marc you are one of our best, no wonder you’ve performed with some of the top musos.
Vocals & instruments don’t fight each other, they come together like a dream. A great selection of songs with nothing repetitive. Don’t miss out
on your copy of The Power Of the Blues, get it now. Fabulous CD Marc & all the very best for the future.
I’ll be very proudly playing Marc on my Spirit of the Blues show & I know
the listeners will enjoy him as much as I do.
Don’t ever stop playing & singing as you’re a fantastic example of our wonderful Aussie musicians.
Congratulations Marc, you’re very special.
