Episode 91: Troy Marks (Razor White)

Talkin‘ the Talk With Don

Troy Marks is a living legend when it comes to being a part of the New Orleans Heavy Metal music scene as the vocalist for Razor White. To me, nobody did it better than Razor White. I know some will say Lillian Axe did but honestly, I LOVE them but it was the Razor that pumped me up like no other.

In 1988, Razor White released a 5 song demo that became known as "The Black Tape" that featured five amazing songs. Razor White followed it up with a full length called Just What The Doctor Ordered and then disbanded not long after it's release in 1991.

35 years later, vocalist/songwriter Troy Marks announced that both the The Black Tape and Just What the Doctor Ordered will be re-released via Lost Real Records and I was beside myself! Being an old buddy of mine, I reached out to Troy and got him to talk about this huge news. As always, it was an absolute blast talking to him about the old days of the New Orleans music scene, the releases, and even the possibility seeing these songs re-visited in a live setting.
