Marcy Playground – Marcy Playground (CD, 1997, Capitol Records CDP 7243 8 53569 2 6)

Why This CD Matters
Marcy Playground’s 1997 self-titled debut introduced the band’s understated blend of alternative rock, acoustic textures, and post-grunge songwriting to a national audience. The album contains “Sex And Candy,” the band’s signature hit, along with “Saint Joe On The School Bus” and “Sherry Fraser.” John Wozniak wrote nearly the entire album and produced it, while the sessions were recorded and mixed at Sabella Recording Studios and mastered by Greg Calbi at Masterdisk.
