Lauded New Orleans born folk songstress MARY GAUTHIER (64 now) has a rich past, writing/recording/releasing her deeply felt songs since 1990. Many artists such as Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Kathy Mattea, Vince Gill, Bettye Lavette, Candi Staton, and Amy
Helm have covered songs of her.
She just released her new full-length, named RECKONING, her first in 8 years.
TUTV: Gauthier‘s riveting Americana voice gets all your aural attention throughout this
new, stirring acoustic folk album. Gauthier sings about people’s loneliness caused by addiction to alcohol and drugs. About the struggle for love and justice in a world where religious people often pervert Jesus’ message of love for others. About the Kennedys,
MLK, Obama, and today’s dark political turmoil.
About individuals eager to follow orders, whether it’s crucifying Jesus or shooting
Rene Good in cold blood on a Minneapolis street. About anything/anybody that puzzles Gauthier and impacts her views on humanity. No, these aren’t happy songs whatsoever,
but they stick, like real life sticks. In the end, Gauthier hopes for salvation, something,
I guess we all do.
Fitting candlelight music for soulful and moony Sunday evenings
