He might not have Mary Louise Parker parading around in his music videos anymore, but Mississippi-born Charlie Mars still oozes cool.

His new album Blackberry Light continues the seductive acoustic pop found on his last records; his chronicled late-night misadventures drenched in subtle rhythms & ambient textures.

Listen to Charlie’s Sunny Side Up Session from 10/27/12 and hear him talk about what influenced his sound and hear how he cashed in a cancellation policy with a higher power.
