Dark enough to see the stars
Released on June 3rd, 2022
“My new record Dark Enough to See the Stars is a collection of songs that reflect a complex emotional journey. Many of the songs were written with longtime co-writers and dear friends during the pandemic years. Love and grief are the dominant themes, joy and sorrow, the dominant emotions. A happy sad record, moreover, a record about what it means to love.” - Mary Gauthier

The Orphan King
Another Day Borrowed
Released 2010
Mary Gauthier has always sung with the heart and grit of someone who’s spent life on the road with both eyes wide open. For The Foundling, she strips her sound down to an eerie quiet, recording in Canada with producer Michael Timmins of the Cowboy Junkies. The effect is much like the Cowboy Junkies themselves with a slightly more life-worn voice up front. An adopted child who ran away from home as a teenager and contacted the birth mother who refused to meet her, Gauthier explores the role of identity in songs such as the slow sweeper “Mama Here, Mama Gone,” the suppressed rocker “Blood Is Blood” and the broken country ballad “The Orphan King,” shedding not tears but insights into the tough questions and impossible answers of a life spent wondering. “Good-Bye” adds a sweet fiddle. “Another Day Borrowed,” “March 12, 1962” and “Walk On The Water” are solid, soul-searching tunes with their somber hues enhanced by Gauthier’s striking vocal delivery. “Coda” is a quick, gentle a cappella finale.
