Marcus Singletary began playing music at an early age and, later, paid his dues on the Chicago blues scene of the 90's. After graduating from Northwestern University with a bachelor's degree in communications, he moved to Los Angeles and released the CD "Chicago Stomp", recorded with the group Jupiter's Child. Regarding it, Mick Skidmore of Relix called Singletary's guitar playing, "extraordinary." "Sky's The Limit" appeared in 2002. All Music Guide called attention to its songwriting, and, subsequently, Mike O'Cull of Illinois Entertainer emphasized while reviewing 2003's Marcus Singletary Band, "You could never call him run of the mill... This is what potential sounds like." With Marcus Singletary Rocks, featuring cuts from five previous releases, all of Singletary's musical talents are on display. New listeners will appreciate having these highlights together in one place, while those familiar with Singletary's brand of funky, improvisational blues will turn to this disc to hear recordings produced by an artist who offers fans fresh interpretations of American roots music. Consider this his first real album. Blues/Rock, total running time, 41:12 - Marcus Singletary @ iTunes!
