Live City Sounds

Boston folksinger Mary Lou Lord has been in and out of the spotlight throughout the last decade. Coming off a publicity hiatus due to the birth of her daughter two years ago, Mary Lou got back to performance basics, spending the time busking in the street after her 1998 major label release "Got No Shadow". Mary Lou is now ready to emerge. She has recently provided the music for a Target commercial. That song, "Speeding Motorcycle", a Daniel Johnston cover, is contained within as a remade studio recording. The rest of the CD is a digitally, self-recorded live-in-the-street, back to basics covers record. She tackles songs by legends like Bob Dylan, Richard Thompson and Bruce Springsteen as well as newer "indie" oriented artists such as Elliott Smith and the Magnetic Fields. Mary Lou will be recording her next studio album for Rubric later this year.
