Singer/songwriter Gold Star aka Marlon Rabenreither has released a new video for his latest single “Sonny’s Blues”, the lead track from his forthcoming release Big Blue. The clip was Shot on an old DV camcorder, and kind of has a homemade feel and was filmed in a cemetery but we see more flowers than we do graves.

Gold Star’s Marlon Rabenreither grew up in L.A. with a native son’s sense of what’s real and true and a childhood fascination with the Beatles, teaching himself to write and play a special kind of stark guitar-noir Americana that soon got him opening for Ryan Bingham and an admiring Lucinda Williams. On his new Autumn Tone release Big Blue-named after the ramshackle Hollywood home where he produced and recorded the album-he shines and redefines the sound of his self-titled 2013 EP and his 2015 full-length Dark Days to reveal an autobiographical work as influenced by writers like Fante, Baldwin and Chandler as it is Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Wilco or Elliott Smith.
