The Foundling named #3 Record of the year in the LA Times

21 Dec

I want to thank Randy Lewis of the LA Times for selecting The Foundling as his pick for his #3 best album of the year. It sure feels good to get that nod from such an acclaimed and well respected music journalist. Thanks Randy!

“The acclaimed Louisiana singer and songwriter tackles the most powerful story of all — that of her own life — in this extraordinarily powerful and clear-eyed song cycle encompassing issues of abandonment, adoption, identity, blame, forgiveness and love set to music as richly diverse as the thematic content.” – Randy Lewis

    I just picked up Foundling Alone and I am blown away. It sounds like the show you gave in Cedar Rapids, Iowa last fall. The emotional range of your writing and singing is amazing. This cd is the closest thing to being with you in a dark auditorium…slowly being transported through life. I hope you make it back this way again soon.

    I used to record my own music in my own recording studio. One day I had a mix tape of the songs I recorded from many years back and my heart was broken that I didn’t pursue my music career. Keep Up the good work:)

    Hell, Mary. You DO know where your songs come from. YOUR SOUL and YOUR HEART. I don’t want to believe that you wrote your last song. I have all your albums and have gone through all your life stages with you. You are not done yet! The Foundling was a courageous and bold production. I respect your willingness to share with others your deepest feelings. There are few artists who can do that – John Prine, Nancy Griffith, and Merle to mention a few. I’d love to hear you perform with John Prine. I just missed your performance at Stone Mountain but will try to keep up with your visits to New England in the future. Keep it up, Mary. You and your music are very special and unique.
    Rest well,
    Bob

    Congrats, Mary, no less than you merit – I was playing Sugar Cane, I Drink and Can’t Find the Way to my friends today and I was trying to explain why you’re one of my favourite artists ever. It’s about the combination of your music, your lyrics and your attitude – call it bravery, outspokenness, poetic genius, whatever, I love your music and I just know that as society crumbles in the way that it is, people are gonna be looking for voices to articulate what’s going on and that’s exactly what you do. Rock on Mary.
