Mean Mary - Alone

Songs about life on the road (Come Along and Big Tour Bus) gently meld into songs from Mary’s childhood in the rural parts of Florida (Another Barefoot Day and We Never Hear the Song). There are songs of trial and triumph (I Can Be Brave, Sparrow Alone, and What About Today), and she gleefully presents her fun side while taking liberties with traditional tunes. She turns the well-known bluegrass song, Nine Pound Hammer, into an original blues song titled Nine Pound Banjo and makes the old folk song, Cindy, her own with flirty new lyrics and a jazzy romp of a tune. In her Bonnie and Clyde inspired story-song, Breathless, Mary unapologetically sings about the darker side of life and completes the album’s roller-coaster of raw and real emotions.
