Details:
If you like powerful singers taking standards down a new path, this CD will remind you why standards become classics. After 4 decades as South Carolina's favorite live vocalist, Marion Wright has finally recorded the album that lets you take his favorite songs home with you.

The tracks take you on a swinging journey from romance to melancholy and back to simple toe-tapping fun. More powerful than simple nostalgia, Marion takes established tunes and makes them immediate and contemporary with his inimitable phrasing and direction. Not another passive or precise spin through the standards, "Take Me Back" is emotionally involving; taking you back to the time these songs were new. In short, Marion mixes recognizable melody with surprises that make you anxious to hear the next song...and the next.

After selling out his first album of Christmas classics (God Gave a Gift), Marion returns with songs he's been entertaining Carolinians with since 1955. Both as a soloist and member of several bands, including the Collegiates and the Wright Group, Marion is known for great performances that seem real and authentic, without sacrificing clarity or power.
