Mean Mary - Murder Creek

[@mightymissk]

Mean Mary is a superb songwriter and an incredible musician. She had me transfixed by Iron Horse. Now I listen to everything she does. This ballad is riveting. What a storyteller! More people need to tell their friends and families about Mean Mary. Somebody this good should be recognized across America. One day she could have millions of fans.

Mean Mary I fell into the night... That gal. That gal can pick

[@HearturMind]

Living in PA surrounded by creeks and Trump signs this song runs chills down my spine.

[@GoddessHela]

I agree Mean Mary is a incredible musician. I 1st saw here playing a Banjo so much talent now she is playing acoustic guitar so great too. No reverb, no autotune, pure talent. She is so excellent

[@pauldistefano8926]

Tractor show is a great song.she did long cool Texan at age 6 & playing acoustic guitar.she plays mandolin violin also cotton eye Joe she rips a mean bow. Picking balm good song too. She reminds me of a female version of Hank Williams with ALL songs & talents. SHE IS 1 OF A KIND FOR SURE❤❤❤

[@adamchristoff4905]

Same here😅

[@sramz100]

Mary is truly unique and does things no one else can do. What a blessing she is to us all. ❤

[@fabiopaolobarbieri2286]

Unforgettable Southern Gothic. We never find out what the mob did in Murder Creek, but that adds to rather than subtract from the power of the narrative.

[@וויליאםמייאר]

Your newest album puts your smokey, mysterious timbre to wonderful purpose. It all seems to be a new season for you, and you are definitely up for it. Thank you for sharing.

[@michaelmcclure7434]

It takes a special kind of singer to rivetingly tell a story in song - you are a master of it. Your lighter songs are great fun, but when you deal with things that are dark, you create masterpieces. I can not wait until the cd arrives and I can listen to this in the dark with the cat asleep on the desk and a glass of good bourbon near to my hand.

[@catherinelaurent5219]

Amazing, such a beautiful voice and song.

[@michaelgraves5188]

Thank you Mary! It’s awesome!🙏❤️😎👍

[@134rwa]

It's so great to see the era of Singer/Song Writer is still alive and well in you, and the banjo is icing on the cake.

[@95path]

Mean Mary you are a truly outstanding artist. Talent like yours is rare, thank you for sharing it with us.

[@rosiemckinzie8608]

Authentic and genuine mega talent! Mary is a rare gem 💎

[@CygnusFour]

Ain't nothing I don't love about this woman. So many of her songs and videos are favorites of mine. Her voice, what her voice puts into those songs, reaches in and touches my soul and I'm left emotionally touched.

[@larryjones8777]

If I only had 1/1000 of her talent I would smile and sing every day of my life. What a great musical inspiration

[@stevenpatten8384]

Wow! Awesome! I love all your stuff, but your Darker stuff especially ( Dark Woods, Sweet Jezebel etc.), so this has just become one of my new favorites!

[@kenfoster3845]

I have enjoyed Mary for years, but she hits it out of the park with this one!

[@josephosheavideos3992]

I've written it before in this space how much I love a good song in a minor key; "Murder Creek" is an outstanding song in a minor key.

[@pinin21]

Discovered Just this night, can't stop listening to Mean Mary ❤

[@elreyvd]

This is enormously powerful, and I will never understand why the world isn't listening to Mary, her talent, her passion, her incredible craftmanship in music and in lyrics. There are hard-hitting verses forged with poetic care, amazing metaphors, wordplay, a whole diorama of well-expressed feelings in this story. Being a fan of Mary is one of my better vices in music.

[@maggiekelly6212]

ya just gotta lay down for the right people...mary didn't, taylor...well, you figure it out

[@mightymissk]

@@maggiekelly6212 That is a lie and a completely vile thing to say. You talk like a malicious, gossiping woman-hater. Both Mean Mary and Taylor Swift are brilliant songwriters. You can't sleep your way to good lyrics. You're can either write or you can't. So the hell with you, you miserable troll.

[@gerfmon1]

For whatever reason sometimes the best are the most ignored. Mary is a good example. The great folk/pop singer Harry Chapin was another one..

[@mightymissk]

@@maggiekelly6212 That is a lie. Taylor Swift did not “lay down” for anybody, you malicious cow. Both Mean Mary and Swift are brilliant songwriters - a skill that you either have, or you don’t have.

[@markhanson5100]

There are three types of flesh and bone...And those who want to be left alone. Wow! That verse says it all. This song is your best yet. Thank you Mary.❤😢🪕🎶💯🌹🌹🙏

[@holyMcGuinness]

What a blessing she is to us all. Authentic and genuine mega talent! Mary is a rare gem, Thank you Mary! It’s awesome!

[@jadepatnode]

Oh shit. Mary is pure gold.

[@Chrisg288]

WONDERFUL

[@davidorourke9938]

I feel like I learned a lot about the people that were involved in what happened at Murder Creek ..... and I'm not sure what exactly happened at Murder Creek! Such an intriguing song; every revelation only leads to more questions! I love every Mean Mary song I've heard .... but these deep story songs of hers really are next level! So well done!

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

Just a guess, but I suspect the man Mary mentions briefly at the beginning of the tale was probably double and triple-timing the women in the song, they all found out, got very VERY PO'd and so they got together and killed him "...at Murder Creek." And now they have to live with the guilt. And there's no real living with it.

[@וויליאםמייאר]

They may have been crawdad hunting. But the crawdads weren't interested. So their gathering descended into a mud fight. Things just when downhill from there. That could be embarrassing, you know.

[@וויליאםמייאר]

@@wayneantoniazzi2706 I think you nailed it. The lyrics depict the whole thing remarkably well, don't they?

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

@@וויליאםמייאר I think so, it's the reason I drew my conclusion.

[@וויליאםמייאר]

@@wayneantoniazzi2706 But what about Big Ben the horse? A red herring?

[@makethatlimedrop]

Even the first verse gives me chills. Such incredible vocal and instrumental storytelling!!

[@pauldistefano8926]

The friend I never had one of the best songs in my opinion sweet Jezebel and dark woods sweet fund Cotton Eye Joe great Renditions and blackberry blossom some of the older stuff blazing and I fell into the night the list is practically endless one of the most unique songwriters I've ever heard thank you Mary thank you very much for all your contributions to the music industry and to your fans bravo bravo encore encore❤❤❤❤❤ can't forget what about today praise the Lord for mean Mary James

[@steveb7310]

Mind blown. Your voice and your artistry are gifts from God.

[@nedearley3352]

I just listened for the first time. I am speechless! Killer lyrics! (Uh, literally, I think...) I never thought you could do better than Sweet Jezebel for snaring us with words and then pulling us in... I think you just did!!! Long time Mean Mary fan here, and I have the tshirts to prove it!!!!

[@kellywigemyr1338]

My goodness sake, You are one talented lady Mary!!

[@heavenleigh111]

I don't think anyone could have sang it better. Enchanting!

[@maelgrym5384]

Dang it, Mary! I had to immediately add this to my "Not While Driving" playlist along with the likes of Blazing and Dark Woods. According to the people behind me on the highway, I have way too much fun tapping my toes and stomping my feet when listening to this. Looking forward to seeing this one live though!

[@artillerybuff2000]

WOW! WOW! WOW! I absolutely love everything about this awesome song! I am very moved, thank you sooooo much!!!

How i know the world is upside down: Taylor Swift is a global phenomenon and Mean Mary isn't.

[@howardkrumholtz285]

Mean Mary sings about murder. Taylor sings about relationships. Wonder why Taylor is more popular? I like this song, but I'm not surprised.

[@hammer-fn7gm]

Got my Woman Creature CD on the mail today. Thanks Mary.

stunning an spine chilling-what a story teller and musician! a true gem-she needs to be heard more on radio/mainstream...continued success and health Ms. Mary...

WOW!!! I am an instant fan...at 69. Your flawless performance at 6 years old singing "Long Tall Texan" totally drew me in. I absolutely loved it. I don't know why, but it brought tears to my eyes...perhaps just the sheer joy of being thoroughly entertained. Every video of yours I have watched now has shown me your a tremendous talent. Thank you...

[@PhoenixLyon]

I hear you! 62, here, and sending this

[@scottkossack5155]

The definition of Southern Gothic

[@bluenetmarketing]

This one really puts a lump in your throat. Beautiful and "terrible" storytelling all at once, a very scary and emotional song reminiscent of Murder on the Orient Express. It needs to be made into a movie. Of course we all want to know what was left on the table, a knife, likely. This one is going to #1 on the country and many other charts. How many people can relate to the lyrics with the things they regret in their life? Plenty. All I can say is, don't live in the past or you'll never live in the present.
