Mary Gauthier Live At Blue Rock 180g LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;180 Gram Vinyl! Moving, Stellar Live Piece on Vinyl by Americana Artist Mary Gauthier! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; After 10 years of perfecting her stagecraft, Mary Gauthier releases Live at Blue Rock. In conversation and in public, Mary Gauthier comes off as a practical, no-nonsense woman. Stoic, even. Which wouldn't seem unusual, except for the fact that her songs carry so much emotional punch, they can leave you staggering. She has a way of burrowing into that hole so many of us carry inside our souls, and emerging with universal truths that show we aren't so alone after all. Gauthier knows where our exposed nerve endings lie because she's probed her own so deeply, finally learning to unlock the fear and loneliness that controlled her escape-seeking trajectory for so long before songwriting and the sobriety that drew it forth at age 35 gave her a steadier flight path. But even though her six albums have received countless accolades (and 2005's Mercy Now earned her the Americana Music Association's New/Emerging Artist of the Year title, and 2011's The Foundling was named the #3 Record of the Year but the LA Times), and her songs have been praised by both Bob Dylan and Tom Waits and recorded by Jimmy Buffet, Blake Shelton and many others, Gauthier felt she needed to rack up her pilot hours, so to speak, before she could hit another major milestone: recording a live album. When she was ready, she captured Live at Blue Rock at a concert at the Blue Rock Artist Ranch and Studio in Wimberley, Texas, outside of Austin. & lt;b & gt; & quot;People have been asking for a live (album) for a long time and I just knew that I wasn't ready yet, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; admits Gauthier. & lt;b & gt; & quot;It took 10 years of trench work. Of bein' out there, banging my head against all the things an artist has to bang against. Indifference. Poor attendance. Situations that are over your head. Every night, curve ball, curve ball, curve ball. But stagecraft cannot be taught. You have to be onstage to learn it. So after 10 years of doin' it, I got good at it. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; Louisiana native-turned-Nashville resident Gauthier (it's French; pronounced Go-SHAY) is not bragging, just explaining, in that practical way of hers. It's the same way she discusses experiences that led to some of the extraordinary songs she performs on the album. Renowned songs, such as & quot;I Drink, & quot; & quot;Drag Queens in Limousines & quot; and & quot;Karla Faye & quot; which addresses the famous fate of that convicted killer, but starts out with lines that undoubtedly reference their author as well: A little girl lost, her world full of pain. He said it feels good, she gave him her vein. & lt;b & gt; & quot;As a songwriter, I'm always trying to go to the deepest possible place inside of me. Past the naval-gazing, past the self-conscious, to get to that 'we' & quot; & lt;/b & gt;Gauthier explains. & lt;b & gt; & quot;Cause deep inside of all of us is the universal. And that is an artist's job, to transcend the self. I'm in there, but then hopefully, it goes past that and it hits something far, far bigger and more important than me. That's what I'm aimin' for every time I write & quot; & lt;/b & gt;-- particularly for the outsiders with whom Gauthier has always identified most. They populate Live at Blue Rock, which also contains covers of three songs by fellow poet/philosopher (and recent & quot;Tin Can Caravan & quot; tour leader) Fred Eaglesmith, another master at illuminating the sympathetic sides of characters society is not used to regarding kindly, if at all. & lt;b & gt; & quot;I find the stories I want to tell are the stories of characters who may or may not make it, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; says Gauthier. Though she's no longer dangling on that precipice, she adds, & lt;b & gt; & quot;I believe in redemption. I needed redemption; I continue to need redemption. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180 Gram Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP1 - Side A: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt;1.

Dar Williams Emerald 180g LP (Yellow/Blue/Black Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;180g Yellow/Blue/Black Vinyl! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This is Dar Williams' first release on vinyl! The 180g, three color Emerald LP comes with a full color jacket, color inner sleeve, and download card. Dar Williams' growth as an individual over her two-decade career has gone hand-in-hand with her evolution as an artist. This is best typified by the release of Emerald--a timely and brilliant album of new songs and collaborations with friends such as Jill Sobule, Richard Thompson, Jim Lauderdale, the Milk Carton Kids, the Hooters, Lucy Wainwright Roche and her mother Suzzy Roche (among others). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;''Dar Williams, one of America's very best singer-songwriters. Her songs are beautiful. Some are like finely crafted short stories. They are, variously, devastatingly moving, tenderly funny, subtle without being in any way inaccessible, and utterly fresh, not a cliche or a clunker in her entire songbook.'' & lt;/b & gt;-The New Yorker & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Yellow/Blue/Black Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Full Color Jacket & lt;br & gt; Color Inner Sleeve & lt;br & gt; Download Card & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.
