I was checking her biography and was surprised to find out that she wrote her first song when she was only five and the song went public when she was six. Not only that her one of her vocal cords was paralized in accident, but recovered. That's nothing less than amazing taking into account her voice and its reach. Plus love her banjo, not a common instrument.

@Carmen Ortiz Her voice is amazing. I love it! However, she does have one eeeensy habit holding her back. Not that her voice lacks sharpness/clarity. She’s got it. But she’s capable of moreso. Her tendency is to overstress or draw out consonants at the end of words. She needs to shortenl her consonants but increase the length and emphasis of her vowels. Her voice is amazing. I know seems like a small diff of no import but the difference this change of habit makes to the sound shouldn’t be underestimated. I would love to hear her sing with the oooomph added of that one itty bitty improvement.

I wouldn't imagine myself even in the worst nightmares that I would fall in love with folk music. 56 years old, from Central Europe, loving rock'n'roll, metal, heavy metal, Scandinavian dark metal, maybe a bit of blues music - now I am mesmerized and can't stop listening this kind of music. Pure American folk and bluegrass music. And Mean Mary is my favorite female singer. Just WOW!!!

I never liked American country music, but one day I was listening to Mongolian music, which always sounds like hoof beats, and I had enjoyed Japanese farmers singing..which sounded an awful lot like deep growling throat song, and realized I was ignoring a whole genre of folk music just because it was MY folk. The whole amalgamation from Applachia to Ranchero. Many treasures from around the world

Then a few weeks later I saw her picture in a window in the high street of the little village I worked in in the UK - she was coming there on tour, all the way from the USA to the totally obscure and unremarkable backwater of Baldock, Hertfordshire - what are the chances?! Of course I went to the gig, she and her brother playing to an audience of no more than 50 in a pub. Great banter with the crowd, got a signed CD. And I've never seen anyone play like that - her hands were a motion-blur - virtuoso on banjo, guitar and fiddle!

I’ll ride like wind and ask him why Astride my fearless painted dun I chose my pace and set my course To catch this demon on the run My steed against this iron horse Through the thunder of its blare I yelled my fury at the beast Wasted words lost in the air As it roared its way forever east

I noticed that you forgot to include this paragraph as part of the chorus: I heard its challenge loud and shrill As we chased it off the Great Divide. Though my steed had the stronger will, The Iron Horse had the longer stride.

The banjo jusy sings in Marys hands, really channels the soul of the lyrics and sets a beautiful tone merged with her raw vocals

Excellent! Brings the Hiighwaymen and so many others to my mind, yet still quite an original sound. Love it!

Ok, takes a lot to bring me back to this type of music. This is what I rebelled against in my youth. THAT WAS AWESOME.
