Watch The Special Hurricane Katrina Version of "Mercy Now"
Welcome to the official Mary Gauthier Myspace profile. While this page is managed for Mary by her label, Lost Highway Records, Mary will be making blog entries from time to time and checking messages now and then as well. Thanks for stopping by.
"Between Daylight and Dark moves her closer to songwriters like John Prine…There’s no clutter in these songs, but a wealth of implication." - New York Times
“With songwriting as powerful as hers, there's no need to go looking for qualifiers…She's a unique, intrinsically valuable musical voice. And there's never a surplus of those.” - Los Angeles Times
"…Gauthier’s songs startle with authority and detail. If she keeps this up, one day she may assume the mantle of Johnny Cash…” - New York Daily News
“…Gauthier confirms that she's among the best singer-songwriters of her generation….” - Associated Press
"…a triumph that should catapult her to the forefront of Americana singer/songwriters.” (4 1/2 Stars) - Paste
“Her rich, gothic country tales of broken homes and chemical abuse makes for a chilling ride.” - Interview
“Mary Gauthier’s Mercy Now is a truly extraordinary album from a critically acclaimed singer.” – Vanity Fair
“Her bayou laments are sparse and simple, but her artistry is pure and absolute.”
- Playboy
“The beauty is that she's able to tell that story of the wind, the rain, the pain, the wonder and the world in between so eloquently.” (4 stars) – Newhouse News Wire
“This is an unsettling work of terrible beauty.” – American Profile
If there were no story to tell about this remarkable artist, if there were nothing but the music that haunts every track on Mercy Now, that alone would make the case for Mary Gauthier as one of the most challenging artists to rise up from the underground in a long, long time.
"I was adopted when I was about a year old. My adopted parents tried, but their marriage was doomed. They ended up like zombies. Music saved my life."
