Description
A collection of Mary's most celebrated songs of the last 12 years, recorded live in concert at Blue Rock Artist Ranch and Studio outside of Austin.
"There's probably never been a more honest songwriter than Mary Gauthier. From her earliest days in music, taking up songwriting after becoming sober at 35, she's created characters whose struggles-with adoption, addiction, sexuality, homelessness, rootlessness-have closely mirrored her own. The road can be rough, but Gauthier's an expert in finding the spark of hope in the saddest of situations.
"Over six studio albums, commencing with 1997′s Dixie Kitchen, Gauthier's proven herself to be a storyteller of the first order. … Her songs have been covered by everybody from Blake Shelton to Boy George, and while you ponder that mental image, know that nobody's done ‘em better than Gauthier herself.
"It took her a long time to record a live album, but the outstanding songs and powerful performances on Live At Blue Rock prove it was worth the wait. Recorded live at Blue Rock Artists Ranch in Austin, Live At Blue Rock presents 11 of her finest, eight of which were written or co-written by Gauthier.
