MEAN MARY JAMES COTTON EYE JOE

[@hutchjohn1]

Mary has the talent to play the music that defined America! This is the real Country Music, not that plastic crap on the radio today. Show em how its done Mary!

[@johnmurphy6259]

MARY IS FANTASTIC AND YOU ARE SO RIGHT

[@Knappist]

Amen to that 🤟

[@marililly27]

So this is the reason why I wanna visit America, this is America for me

[@chado3000]

We would love to have you. 🌹

[@marililly27]

@@chado3000 oh this is so nice to read! ⚘

[@cplcabs]

I reckon you're in for a shock

[@raymondschmitt3831]

America is not what you see on TV or in the big cities, America is what you experience as you travel across her vast expance of diversity. And when I say diversity I don't mean the type that is trying to choke her, I mean the people filled with the love of freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Mean Mary personifies the idealism of the American people.

[@jennifermedeiros4790]

Marina, we welcome your arrival

Her bass drum is a suitcase. Absolutely brilliant!

[@keen9629]

Good eye

[@altonkenne579]

Wow awesome the last time I heard that song was in the 1970s at the allstar club in freer Texas it was sung by Aldean Callaway and the allstars brings back old memories thank you mary

[@richardreynolds6398]

She's amazing. Not only does she plays so many instruments so well, it's how musical and listenable it is.

[@ChudleighBanjo]

Oh my goodness, and I thought she just played the banjo! Mean Mary rocks...

[@rolyatknarfable]

+ChudleighBanjo She plays guitar also. Mean Mary's awesome!

[@singinginthedark2786]

she also plays the mandolin as well, no telling what else

Amazing Talent she should be #1 on every country radio station across the country

[@mikeherrick549]

This woman is amazing

[@williamdrews9577]

Hard to believe that people can idolize Madonna and Lady Gag Gag when we have this kind of talent in this country.

[@edwardhanson3664]

THIS!

[@slayer04031974]

That is the best part of being an American!! We don't have to love everything as everyone else. In the end it really doesn't matter if they are popular as Elvis, Madonna or Johnny Cash. It only matters if it matters to you and you know why.❤

[@andrewbeattieRAB]

William Drews For anybody to answer: WHAT DO YOU SAY??

[@jasavak]

uh , people want Hittlery Clinton , not for prison , but for president !

[@gbrownstone]

Absolutely Outstanding...Bravo Mary !!!

[@williamburgos2963]

Mean Mary is awesome. She has such a unique style, down home, simple country girl chalk full of talent. I love to watch her and her brother play. Hope one day this poor-boy can actually see her in concert live. One day maybe. Mean time keep on playing. We love you and your music.

[@bisleyblackhawk1288]

@william Burgos...BEST in the business 👍👍👍

Talent talent talent

[@knivesbyhand9025]

I just came across Mean Mary music today I looked her Bio up. She has overcome a lot in her life . I am very impressed. Salute.

[@allanstark4219]

So perfect at everything she does. I personally rank her as equal to any of the master musicians in the classical field. She has elevated this type of musical presentation to that high a level, and she'd probably be the lone occupant of such an elevated class. For me, she is hypnotic.

[@Jigaboo123456]

I only clicked on her from a sidebar a few weeks ago, and yes, I'm beginning to see that she IS a virtuoso . She's great. As a Scot, this appeals to my atavistical musical senses.

[@jamesyaggi1219]

[@michaelcraig9449]

No, there are many more greats. Sadly the music industry promotes garbage like Miley Cyrus instead.

[@johnc7365]

I was saddened when Roy Clark died, thinking they really didn't make them like him anymore. People that are just a part of the music they play. Then I found Mary.

[@philhistorybuff4040]

I have been priveleged to see Mean Mary three times on UK tours she has an astounding and versatile talent and I hope to see her again when she next tours the UK

[@johnmurphy6259]

met Mary a couple of times a great talent lovely person to speak to

[@deborahhockett]

Just now ran across Mean Mary James....Oh my lord! What an AMAZING talent. Why have we not heard of this Wonder? I am Now a Huge fan!

[@karlikehorn5122]

An excellent performer I love the song iron horse

Watch Iron horse again! At exactly 20 seconds in that little look/smirk just before the next frame would Melt Iron!!👍

[@GORF_EMPIRE]

OMG! and she plays the fiddle too!

[@rudigazortipek2987]

EEHAAA!!! Loves me some Mean Mary! you GO girl!!!

[@argononeya7080]

I think Mean Mary (Probably the sweetest person you'd ever meet )Is so humble ,she knows how bad ass she is .I have always since high school admired women like her .Crazy cool ,crazy talented Yet two feet firmly planted humbleness seems to be her thing .So beautiful as is her music

[@franksperling439]

You just dont hear great music like this any more thank you for the best music ever

[@scray00]

Thank you to you tube recommended feed. Can’t believe I’m just hearing this now. I cannot believe the amount of symphonic metal and blue grass I’ve been introduced to during covid. 🙂

[@wrdlmbrt1956]

Mean Mary ... not just very Talented... but Beautiful as well! ( One of my favorite Dancing songs " Cottoneyed Joe" ... I taught myself to play it on Electric Guitar [ A Candy Apple Red Fender Jazzmaster and my Takamine Cutaway Acoustic] back in the mid 70's mainly because the Country dance band I was in ... we didn't have a Fiddle player in the band at the time!) One night at a gig ... I even got out on the dance floor in front of the stage with a few girl friends of mine and danced the Cottoneyed Joe while playing it on my Guitar ... Ooh the memories from my youth, had a " Ton of Fun " back then! 👍👍😎

[@mutantinfant]

Beautiful Mary plays like an angel!!!

[@dialemmaz]

My goodness lady !!! Wow wee!!!! The suitcase drum awwwsome I didn’t realise that was you also beating the drum … along with all the other talents you displayed here!!!! I can’t believe I only just met you! Love n admiration at first sight ❤

[@katfishkobain8809]

I know a guy named Henry. He would drink a fifth of Jack before going on stage with an Irish Piperband with pennywhistles , bagpipes and a mandolin. Boys of the Loch, Chieftains… Incredible fiddle playing. No one really knows him. These people are in love with the music
