Customer Reviews
Gritty new country music (and all the better for it!)
I bought this based solely on an Amazon personal recommendation (!), and found that this is a real discovery. Mary Gauthier writes real "on the money" songs about despair, pain and family problems. Her delivery from sounding like a female JJ Cale to a harder version of Eliza Gilkyson matches her lyrics brilliantly. Add to that a musical backing and sound mix that sounds like Bob Dylan "Out of time" out-takes and this has been played constantly since buying. Now to buy all those earlier releases by the lady!
CD of the year?
Mary Gauthier sounds every bit as good on CD as live - a compliment to both. This record is beautifully crafted with vocals and instrumentals that are works of art.
If you are a country fan, you'll love it, if not it should convert you.
Yet another artist that Bob Harris opened my eyes (and ears) to!
Smart, moving and evocative. Highly recommended.
This woman has lived! The songs here deal with such a wide range of deep, at times dark, material. The atmosphere of the album is with you in the first few notes, and its the type of CD that really won't let go. Listen to this late at night when you're prepared to think about the lyrics. Some of these great songs got in my head straight away.
I would buy this again without any hesitation.
