Filth & Fire ReviewMary Gauthier's "Filth & Fire" is her 3rd recorded set. She writes country like it's supposed to be, which would be unrecognizable to the Nashville photo-opp crowd. The opener, "Walk Through the Fire," is a determined dirge with a disarmingly beautiful melody, "So I let go of lovers; I let go of diamonds; I've plenty of sins to atone while I walk through the fire alone." On "A Long Way to Fall" Gurf Morlix plays a weissenborn. I confess that I don't know what that is; but I admire Mary bringing in less common instruments to flavor the arrangements. Catie Curtis, who is one of my favorite folkies, co-wrote "Sugar Cane" with Mary. Catie's version is on her "My Shirt Looks Good On You" CD. Both versions are good; but Mary's gives the somber song with its pretty melody a distinctly country flair with Darcie Deaville's fiddle lending a wistful resignation. "Merry Go Round" is a sad midtempo track about abuse & drug addiction, "From the phone booth on the freeway when there's no one left to call; to the porcelain God you pray to in the public restroom stall." Peter Rowan's mandolin makes a cheerful sound on "Good-Bye" as Mary, who was herself adopted, sings about a mother giving up her baby. "Cheaters, liars, outlaws & fallen angels come looking for the grace from which they fell; They hold on to each other in the darkness," Mary sings in the depressingly gorgeous "Camelot Motel." "After You're Gone" is a tear-in-your-beer special slow song. "The Ledge" gets our toe tapping a bit as Mary's vocal is one part howl, one part moan. "Christmas In Paradise" is a great ballad about two down-&-outs celebrating under a bridge. Jonathan Pointer's "For Rose" is a slow sad song about the aftermath of a war or a love affair; sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. "We hold on to each other, but to our faith we cling," Mary laments on "The Sun Fades the Color of Everything." This set is dark in tone. It is a territory which has the voice of experience in these tunes. Let Mary tug at your heart.Filth & Fire Overviewmusic by the great mary gauthier
