The misfit, prodigal lives that scrape and struggle through this Louisiana-born singer-songwriter's third album are all "looking for the grace from which they fell." They find it in unlikely images and places: a freeway phone booth, a stolen Christmas tree, a flaming field of sugar cane, a motel tryst, a sunset "the color of everything." Producer Gurf Morlix's signature sound--churning Hammond organ, bubbling vintage guitars, swampy grooves--isn't just well suited to Gauthier's vision--it toughens the moral grit and turns up the emotional heat. If Gauthier remains obsessed with the darker side of life, she also knows of the human truths hidden there. Like Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town or Lucinda Williams's Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, Filth & Fire is an immediately convincing work of personal, poetic realism. --Roy Kasten

Phantom Review!.......2005-09-24

I can't review the item b/c it has not arrived! But MG is a superb singer-songwriter. Why did you ask me to review something that your records should have told YOU you did not send?

Women Can Be Outlaws Too.......2005-07-05

For those of you who think Lucinda Williams is a dirty lowdown country slut but you like her anyway, you'll thrill to Mary Gauthier. My favorite of many excellent songs is The Ledge, a scary tune about being at the bottom and looking up at all the jerks above you. The reason Gauthier hasn't yet hit the big time may be that she doesn't write enough songs about BOYS. I mean, it worked for the Rolling Stones, but hey, this is a funny country.

Great but demanding album.......2004-05-22

"Filth & Fire" is a great album. I don't know whether Gauthier's previous albums are as good as this one, but, if so,
I wonder why she isn't as famous as the other gal coming from Louisiana (that is, Lucinda Williams).

The standout here is "Sugar Cane": a narrative about the environmental pollution caused by (guess what?) a sugar cane factory in the Mississippi Delta. Because of its social commentary, this song is steeped in the best tradition of folk music, but it's also a plain good country song with harmonica and fiddle providing a nice texture. After just one listening, you'll know the chorus by heart ("From Thibodaux to Raceland, there's fire in the fields...").

"Sugar Cane" also epitomizes the double nature of this album: committed, social-conscious lyrics, often verging on bleakness and hopelessness, wrapped up in upbeat layers of sounds supplied by harmonica, fiddle, lap steel, mandolin and slide guitar.

For instance, you'll love the mandolin that introduces the refrain in "Good-bye", even though the words are anything but joyful: "Born a bastard child in New Orleans to a woman I've never seen...". Or, in "Merry-go-round": "From the milky white of heroin as it bubbles and sooths, the dirty sheets you lie on with nothing left to lose". To complete this journey to hell, give also a listening to "Christmas in Paradise" and "Camelot Motel". I spare you the grim details here.

But beware, she's not striking a pose. She sounds honest even when she describes her homeless Christmas under a bridge with her vagabond companion (as in "Christmas in Paradise").

So, don't be intimidated by this album. There are also a couple of love songs; for instance, "After you're gone" is
pure vintage country, a nice duet with Gurf Morlix. Even though all players are top-notch, this guy deserves the
highest praise, because he plays most of the instruments and produces the album.

"Filth and Fire" ends in a calm tone. "The sun fades" is basically just her voice and an acoustic guitar. Her attitude is serene and makes me hope her next album will be a little bit brighter lyrically and the same musically.

One of The Best Albums I Have Ever Heard!!!!!!.......2003-07-03

I've been in radio for 38 years. Yeah I'm getting older. Part of the problem with loving music and having to work with it everyday is that you get jaded. You get cynical. Then along comes Mary Gauthier. Her 3rd album. Her first for me. It is dark. It is brilliant. She has made me remember what I felt like when I first heard Bob Dylan. When I first heard The Band. When I first heard John Prine. When I first heard Leonard Cohen. Thank you Mary Gauthier and thank you God for giving her this amazing talent. I can only give 5 stars. I would have given it 10!

Downright home spun fire and brimstone.......2003-06-14

Mary Gauthier is a prophet of country folk. She tales a dark tale of Johnny Cash spirituality and down on your luck grittiness. She is authentic and Louisianian. She is apocalypse coming to a bayou. She is real and a damn fine listen at that.

The authentic life she portrays is refreshing in a neuvo biblical Revelations sort of way. Her accent isn't a put-on. She knows of stories of hard times and falls and fires. Her music is stripped down unpretentiousness. Old country pure and black.

She summons ghost of Neil Young (if he were dead...God forbid), Cowboy Junkies, Nancy Apple, Roseanne Cash, Robert Earle Keene,and many many more. The songs, though sometimes painful and dark, invite repeated listens. You will get the real deal and turn heads listening this with windows rolled down, a hound dawg panting in your ear, '67 chevy truck at a stop-light in a one-horse town.

Gauthier is darkness on the edge of town and harvest and oh so much in addition.

Customer Reviews:

Stumbled across a superb artist.......2005-01-01

I was at dinner with friends, and there was a cabaret afterwards. While I was looking forward to show, my friends were not. Once Marieann came out and sang the first number, everyone had a change of heart. She is a true artist. Her phrasing and shaping, tone and musicaltiy come through not only live, but in her recordings as well. I am looking forward to her next album!!

A Voice that doesn't quit.......2003-11-05

Marieann packs a powerhouse of sound into this album. Her voice is rich and velvety and luscious. Her arrangements are of the highest caliber and enhance the voice beautifully. She's right on target with creative interpretations of some favorites, and knows her voice well enough to have chosen great material for it. Her command of phrasing is especially intelligent. She sings with confidence and mastery.

Think of the Great Classic Girl Singers.......2003-09-05

If this were the 50's Marieann would be as famous as Margaret Whiting, Jo Stafford, Doris Day or Dinah Shore. She has a voice that won't quit and an understanding of what each song is saying. Her style is simple, simply good. She doesn't need to roll around a note or resort to pyrotechnics to command attention. The truth of the song flows through her. She chooses great songs, simply sings the songs and captivates her audience

This CD is a definite must for anyone who appreciates the American Songbook or simply wants to be captivated..

Album Description

This is a Christmas album with year long appeal. Shimmering, polished performances by the celebrated musical team of Smith and O'Reilly and a stellar musical ensemble, as they perform on 15 exciting tracks! 13 danceable tunes, written for the Svalander-Begley Americana Ballet, from waltzes to swing, a soft shoe, a foxtrot, a gypsy dance, witty novelty songs and tender love duets, all written with signature Smithish charm. Michael reads several excerpts from the O.Henry story. The CD is set in a lush and lovely Vaudeville style Old New York poster design. Songs are performed on a variety of guitars, violin, cello, bass and piano. Jamie and Michael provide the lead vocals. Recorded at Dr. Caw Recording, Northbrook, IL. Produced and distributed by J. O'Reilly Productions. The songs on the recording hearken back to the halcyon days of parlor songs and vaudeville- the pre-radio era- when novelty songs and waltzes could be heard wafting through the air in the 'tin pan alleys' of overcrowded New York City, and even the poorest of young lovers had a song in his heart! It is the story of Della-who sacrifices her long hair for Jim-who pawns his heirloom pocket-watch for Della, and it celebrates true love's triumph over adversity.

Set in an era of economic hardship and struggle -turn of the century New York City, the music draws from the rich music hall tradition that was New York in 1905. The lyrics tell of a city boasting modernization and new invention, from the trolley to the telephone and of neighborhood flats bursting with activity. They tell of the dashed dreams of wide-eyed innocents and off-the-boat immigrants, and the colorful characters they do business with: Madame Sofronie, once a gypsy princess in old Russia now relegated to making wigs for society ladies, the sly, deal-making Pawnbroker whose watches are all set to the time of President Lincoln's death, and Jim and Della, the down-on-their luck newlyweds taking refuge in the wonder of Christmas.
