REVIEW OF: 'BOULLE, MARK' 'ALL THE LEAVES ARE FALLING DOWN' by Martin Raybould www.whisperinandhollerin.com Release Date: 'June 2007' Boulle has a natural talent for songwriting that manages to sidestep all the tired clich?s to give personal and personable reflections on the world around him. He comes across as is a relaxed and likeable host who is keen to enjoy life but suspicious of superficial pleasures... If there was any justice in the world it is a record that would earn his fortune. As it is, the likelihood is that it will gain a small but appreciative following. Take time to seek it out and you'll be rewarded with a record that restores your faith in the healing power of pop music. author: Martin Raybould

-------- Some guy at a party once said quite seriously to Mark "Man, you need to be locked in a room just making music nonstop, to which Mark replied, "Yes... I know." The party continued and many people had a good time.
