Mean Mary - No Man's Land

[@Sireci73]

I don't know what blows me away most about this woman. Her voice, or her finger pickin'. Criminally underrated!

[@rebeccajohnson2633]

😁😉

[@rhino1138]

@@rebeccajohnson2633 Agree.

[@cal9064]

With this kind of talent, I am astonished that Mean Mary isn't celebrated as a major recording artist. She is certainly deserving of acclaim.

[@jackrichards1863]

They are trying to take the music away. Mean Mary and musicians like her are here mankind will stay.

[@commodoresixfour7478]

Because Record Companies are pure evil. Thank God I live in a time when they are no longer needed.

[@nomanmcshmoo8640]

She (and her MOM, who is also a FANTASTIC songwriter) is an awesome talent!

[@DiscernmentNow]

Maybe she doesn't want to sell her soul for fame and fortune.

[@Quasime42]

Maybe she's just a bit mean? (Joke!)

[@patriciajrs46]

I love her dusky singing. I am glad she's decided to share her talent with the world.

[@virg0_lem0nade]

WOW this one should be a radio hit, seriously!!!!!! This one is a flagship song, some huge label needs to pick this up for real....

[@mtxautomotive]

She is way underrated IMHO

[@KittenCo13]

Screw that. She needs her own label!!!!

[@BarManE.C.]

Mean Mary is so Badass! Love at First Listen.

[@PhoenixLyon]

If it wasn't for KZbin, I wouldn't ever have known about half of the artists i now listen to ! Thank the gods for KZbin!✌️😸

[@lifelover515]

On top of Mary's virtuosity on multiple string instruments and her haunting expressive alto, do we all appreciate what an amazing lyricist she is? Nothing mad about our Mary. What a tonic for the vacuous no man's land (or woman's) of dance pop and rap crap. Thanks for every song you've ever made, honey.

[@coryburns9161]

It's Mean Mary,I saw a video of her as a youngster introduced as Mean Mary

[@claralipps]

It's "mean I think because she is a MEAN string player--meaning a bad ass! @@coryburns9161

[@PeakPics]

This reminds me of Iron Horse, the first Mean Mary song I ever heard. She is at her best here, great songwriting and playing. Looks like Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado, great location for the video, thanks Mary!

[@slbolfing56]

Exactly my first thought!!

[@PatGilliland]

This, Iron Horse and Sweet Jezebel - top notch songs.

[@MaksVerver]

I'm hearing Iron Horse mixed with Dark Woods (both great songs, so I'm not complaining).

[@134rwa]

I had the same thought, reminded me of Iron Horse also. My first Mean Mary song is 'Blazing'.

[@zardozungadonkbungabonga]

My first experience was Mean Mary (age 6) Long Tall Texan right here in Florida. I think Blazing or Sweet Jezebel after that . I like her voice and banjo playing.

[@GinoSoccio-2121]

Oh my she is great and deeply emotional, her music touches the soul.😀🥰

[@MelodyVillaMusic]

Mary James has many gifts, vocals and banjo are just a couple of them! Love all she does for a unique style!!! 5 star performer...

[@heatherreis3276]

Just watched the your tv performance at 6 years old which lead me hear to see how far you've come in your guitar playing. Wow. And I just love your voice and deep you can sing as a woman. Love bluegrass. Love this new find. Thank you KZbin

[@mountainmama6237]

Me too!!! I love her picking and singing. She has a haunting voice, kind of Celtic or Scottish, it's beautiful. So glad I stumbled across Mean Mary at 6 years old to get here.

[@damsam4369]

I thank the gods of music that I came across mean mary. I'm 70 and need the beauty she brings with her voice and playing. Dfw texas

[@plantlord3266]

incredable music icon that needs more widespread audience-great song as always...

[@shannonhines5599]

You know it's actually amazing that she started singing at 6yrs old.❤

[@TheMightyTurtle]

Love her voice. She's was one of those artists about 9yrs ago that I accidentally stumbled upon with the song iron horse. Kept listening to her since

[@Mazzy22]

I love this National Park and preserve, I love Mean Mary's style of playing banjo, making the Banjo so cool, and fringe jacket while playing acoustic guitar, her lovely singing, and this is a place we need to preserve with the change of the Guard so to speak.

[@Cynthia_Cantrell]

Bravo! I'm tingling up all the way from my toes! 35 years ago this could have been my personal anthem... fortunately I'm in a better place now. Thank you Mary for brightening the world with your music!

My favorite used to be "Dark Woods"... It's a toss up now with new song. I just happy to listen...

YES!!!!🥰❤

[@cedricbadger1348]

@@twofeathersjodie Thanks for your reply. "Mean mary" seems to have beautiful personality that doesn't match the " mean" title. Let's encourage her to release more videos. Great sound

[@scottholman3982]

Hail Mary! She sure can play banjo, and her singing ain't bad either. Thank you!

[@bryangardner2365]

I have an unnatural attraction to banjo music. What a voice!

Was für eine großartige Musikerin. Grandiose Stimme, fantastisches Spiel auf den Instrumenten - und sehr schön ist sie auch! Warum ist sie nicht weltweit bekannt? Sie ist besonders.

Mean Mary has many gifts that few people can understand I believe. I bet if you could stand by her you would feel the spirits that surround her!

[@patriciajrs46]

Probably true.

[@idoeverything]

You inspired me so much that I bought a Deering and I’m learning to play banjo now.

[@cormacdavid7355]

Hello Janie 👋 how are you ??

[@RenaeWigen]

Wow, what a breath of fresh air, unfortunately I can truly say I've been there before...the place this artist speaks of and it was about a year ago as i was stranded in Southern CA. Nothing but heat, desert and loneliness. Thank you for this refreshing song and talent!

[@tool4rage434]

Ususally it's the high note in a song that brings the goosebumps but that low note from Mary sure does the trick.

[@thefabulousgreenbean2194]

yep

I get a feeling she just ain't all about money, fame, ratings; their huckleberries. Love her always!

[@didirautenberg2230]

Share her music every chance you get. She is undiscovered by many. I accidently found her. A group 3 Tall Pines was another undiscovered talent. Now you can't even buy their albums. Not even used. No one parts with them. But they stopped recording sadly!! Buy this gsls albums while they are out there.
