CD--Mary Gauthier
Gaithier, Mary -- "Mercy Now" (UMG Recordings) A-Mary Gauthier ("Go Shay") was a welcome surprise to me. WONDERFUL descriptive lyrics with half-spoken, half-sung lines over moody, often mournful story lines, a la John Prine, Lucinda Williams, and I thought -- Tom Waits. A hard-luck lady who tells stories like a road warrior. Some tunes were low voltage, but most were plain-speaking and visceral in impact. Very original with original instrumental voicings against her spare, almost stark vocals. Special.
