Mark's long-standing fascination with the classic Robert Altman film Nashville led to the 2002 release of an all-star tribute to the movie's soundtrack, with contributions from Case, Kelly Hogan, the New Pornographers' Carl Newman, and other stalwarts of the Canadian indie scene; her sophomore solo effort, the excellent Terrible Hostess, followed that summer. Artists such as Kelly Hogan, Pepper Sands' Greg MacDonald, Diona Davies of Po' Girl, and Paul Rigby joined Mark for her fourth album, 2004's The Pros and Cons of Collaboration. Another collaborative effort, Just Married: An Album of Duets, followed in the summer of 2005 as Mark covered a wide-ranging set of songs from David Bowie to Hank Williams. The sessions for her more introspective 2007 follow-up, Nothing Is Free, took place at a community hall on British Columbia's Salt Spring Island. In 2009, Mark teamed up with Toronto-based alt-country artist NQ Arbuckle to record Let's Just Stay Here, an album which earned them a 2010 Juno nomination for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year. Returning to her solo work, she released her eighth album, Queen of Vancouver Island, in 2012. Come! Back! Special!, released in 2016, was Mark's first effort for the Fontana-distributed, artist-run indie Roaring Girl Records. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
