The first time I saw [[Mark Eitzel]] perform, I didn't expect the man to leave so much of himself on the stage. It was 1993 and he and his band, [[American Music Club]], were touring in support of their ''[[Mercury]]'' record. I was a relative latecomer to AMC, ''[[Everclear]]'' being the first record I had purchased a year earlier. Most of what I had read about the band and Eitzel elicited somewhat clumsy comparisons to other performers (Paul Westerberg, Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake) but didn't fully illustrate the band's versatility and truly original sound (I once saw their recordings in the "country rock" section of a music store). I was not prepared for what I saw that night in Chapel Hill. | The first time I saw [[Mark Eitzel]] perform, I didn't expect the man to leave so much of himself on the stage.
