“My Friend Marx” ist das Debüt-Album des irischen Alt-Roots Musikers Marc O`Reilly. Marc’s Musik ist gleichermaßen von amerikanischem wie britischem Folk`n`Blues sowie perkussiven afrikanischen Rhythmen geprägt. Seine Wurzeln mögen in Irland und Frankreich liegen, seine Musik jedoch ist gleichermaßen angelehnt an amerikanische Folk-Blues Traditionen sowie die Black Keys und Tom Waits.
Marc O`Reilly offenbart in den zwölf Songs seines Albums neben seinem großen Talent als Gitarrist ein beeindruckendes emotionales Spektrum. Marc ist behutsam, poetisch, verträumt, aber auch schrill und rauh. Jedes seiner Lieder erzählt zudem eine schöne Geschichte, schräge Alltagsbeobachtungen und Zwischenmenschliches bilden die wesentlichen Themen. Storytelling auf allerhöchstem Niveau.
