She is fabulous!
-
i think it crosses the line of merely being "influenced" . Here licks and her band even sound like prine's musicians (jake & jason). i am not sure what song it was but for a minute i thought i was listening to Sam Stone, but it turned out to be one of her "originals".
-
She loves Prine's work, as do many of her fans. She isn't trying to copy him, but most musicians have influences, Dylan had Guthrie, Elvis the whole genre of black r&b.
-
She seems to be a very bad impression of John Prine.
-
It is a very black, dark song, but the audience kinda laughs as I do at its wry, ironic humour. Addiction issues can be crippling, and it's so easy not to even talk about them, just accept it all as part of our culture. Mary doesn't proselytise, she reflects back to us about ourselves stuff we might not be ready to see yet.
The accompanist's work is superb. Anyone who says Americans can't do irony should have a gander at this, brilliant.
-
Tater can imagine her with Bill Frisell on guitar too.
-
Feller probably laughed because the lyric is humorous. Not humorous as in clown antics funny but humorous as in wise and wry. And that it is.
-
Ironic. Heartbreaking. Very sad.
Richly talented artist, who is brave and wise enough to share her experiences (and which resonate with many of us).

bead on over to Country Standard Time and check out their review of Mary's latest album entitled "The Foundling"
see you there!



I attended a show on this tour, and knew how brilliant Mary was, having seen her a couple of times before. What I wasn't prepared for was the sometimes staggering beauty of Thomm Jutz' guitar work. He played things that made the hair stand up on the back of my neck, especially when he played the electric. You get a small taste of it here. It is what I will remember most about that night.
