专辑简介

This single is an extended length version of Mary Gauthier's classic song Mercy Now, produced by Ray Kennedy.

In 2015 the Associated Press named Mary Gauthier as one of the best songwriters of her generation. Her songs have been recorded by dozens of artists, including Jimmy Buffett, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Bettye Lavette Mike Farris, Amy Helm and Candi Staton, and have appeared extensively in Film and Television, most recently on the ABC hit show Nashville, HBO’s Banshee, and Masterpiece Theater’s Case Histories. Her second album, Filth and Fire was named Best Independent CD of the year by the New York Times. She was signed to Universal Lost Highway, and her following 3 records were listed in both the LA Times and NY Times top three releases of the year. Her record Mercy Now was named in the top 5 records of the decade by No Depression magazine. She has been praised by both Dylan and Waits, and was awarded New Artist of the year by The Americana Music Association in 2005. Mary has released 8 studio albums. Mary teaches songwriting in the US, Canada, Europe and the UK, and tours the world, performing an average of 150 dates a year.

She is currently writing a book for Yale University Press called The Art of Song. She has often been called a writer’s writer. This thrills her to no end.

“With songwriting as powerful as hers, there’s no need to go looking for qualifiers. She’s a unique, intrinsically valuable musical voice. And there’s never a surplus of those.”
