To me good music has always contained an element of surprice to it. When you sit back and listen to this great singer, songwriter, you are constantly reminded of Marco's command and understanding of what combining all the elements of 'roots' music is all about. His new musical venture 'Hold on' is gonna knock you off your feet and put Marco's musical career headlong into the great Australian melting pot of new fresh 'roots' releases. Sit back and enjoy this superbly crafted release and 'HOLD ON' Wally 'Big Walter' Edney. 3 way FM.
