Mark Brine Fortunes: The Best of Mark Brine
Mark Brine has a long and distinguished career deeply rooted in country music and American music history as well. Brine grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts and began his career playing at the age of 13. In his 20s, he moved to Nashville and signed with two record labels as both a staff writer and roster artist. In 1979, he won the Jimmie Rodgers Memorial Festival talent contest, and in 1992 his Grammy nominated "New Blue Yodel" tribute to Jimmie Rodgers led to a debut performance on the Grand Ole Opry with Hank Snow.

Following on the heels of 2003's highly acclaimed 'for Karrie,' Brine's new release chronicles the artist's career spanning over two decades and features highlights from earlier releases including his Grammy-nominated 'New Blue Yodel' tribute to Jimmie Rodgers that led to a debut performance on the Grand Ole Opry with Hank Snow and the Rainbow Ranch Boys, as well as several previously unreleased cuts.

The title track, 'Fortunes,' is a new cut and was written by Ola Belle Reed, a traditional balladeer and claw hammer banjo player who grew up in the mountains of North Carolina and aspired to become one of the most influential forces in the traditional music scene. Given Ola Belle's roots, it seemed a fitting tribute that a portion of the sales of the CD go directly to benefit children and their families in Appalachia.
