Description: This is the Official Music Video for Robert Dale Klein's original song "The Maker's Mark" from his 10-song album cut in Nashville, "This Side of the Dirt". The entire album is a rich and resonant exploration of life, death, the preciousness of time, and the love we share during our finite walk. It was recorded at The Butcher Shoppe Studio in Nashville, TN and produced by Phil Madeira (Emmylou Harris, Civil Wars, Lee Ann Womack). This combination of a stellar backing musicians and Robert Dale Klein's lifetime of singing, songwriting and soul searching, results in a genuine and powerful collection of songs faithful to the folk, outlaw country and gospel genres. If you enjoy the plainspoken storytelling of Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson, the melodic, wry, and engaging styles of James Taylor and Don Henley, or the nuanced chord progressions and musical passion of Jimmy Webb or Billy Joel, then there are plenty of well-crafted songs on This Side of the Dirt for you. In addition to Madeira's sweet skills on all sorts of stringed and keyboard instruments, the album features the vast musical talents of two other members of Emmylou Harris’s touring band, the legendary “Red Dirt Boys,” namely, Will Kimbrough (electric guitar) and Chris Donohue (bass). They are teamed up with a host of other A-list Nashville musicians and singers, including Dennis Holt on drums, John Mark Painter on multiple stringed instruments, and David Mansfield on fiddle and viola. Harmony and backing vocals are supplied by Grammy-nominated and Dove Award-winning artist, Cindy Morgan, the fabulous Laura Donohue, and producer, Phil Madeira.
