From Nashville comes singer/songwriter Mary Gauthier
(pronounced Go-SHAY) with her first live album entitled “Live At Blue Rock,” recorded
last year at the Blue Rock Artist Ranch and Studio in Wimberley, TX. Her last
studio album, “The Foundling” received critical acclaim and landed at #3 on the
L.A. Times’ 2011 “Records of the Year.” This new live album will be released on February
7 through In The Black and features eight of Mary’s original songs and three
cover songs by fellow folk poet Fred Eaglesmith.
The hour-long album begins with the Eaglesmith cover, “Your
Sister Cried” as Gauthier gets her country twang going during the folk song’s
chorus. Her songwriting excels on the storied lyrics of “Last Of The Hobo Kings”
and “Karla Faye” as she paints these wonderful pictures with her words. The
highlight of the set is “Sugar Cane” from her third album, “Filth & Fire.”
She shows such passion in her delivery of her lyrics that you can just sit and
listen to her stories all day. The album finishes up with the slightly upbeat
tempo of “Wheel Inside The Wheel” as the song closes in on the eight-minute
mark.
Mary Gauthier is currently on tour, performing in Miami, FL
before heading north to Nova Scotia. As she makes her way back down the east
coast, she will be performing at Café Nine in New Haven, CT on March 14 before
finishing up her tour in April in Dallas, TX. For more information on her new
album, “Live At Blue Rock” and for a complete list of live dates, please check
