"Mary Gauthier's background qualifies her for country diva status, if the smoky, been-there voice and credible songs already didn't." Sylvie Simmons [MOJO]
Filth and Fire
"Unflinching honesty makes Filth & Fire a triumph, the best singer-songwriter album of the year thus far..." NO DEPRESSION, July 2002
A very strong and individual spirit abounds on this album, along with a wry vision and vocal directness. Mary has completely reworked the tradition to her own message and style. Unforgetable both on disc and live.
