not much really. One World. but that's about it i think.

This one is good thanks. Also Song for Sonny Liston from Marks solo career is kinda catchy.

maybe try Skateaway as well.

Gravy Train, a Golden Heart era b-side

And maybe Hot Dog

You mean "Hot or what"?

No, I mean Hot Dog. This was only on the German MediaMarkt/Saturn edition of Tracker. https://youtu.be/fzTe-VnvzHU

Mark did a catchy song with Randy Newman called “Its money that matters” that has a sort of money for nothing riff. Its on Randy’s album Land of Dreams and there’s a few songs on there with Marks guitar work.

Thanks, good one. I am always on the lookout for MK on other artist's songs
