Mean Mary - Old Banjo

[@jimrentz]

The more I hear Mean Mary, the more I fall in love. True Americana Music, with hints of Bluegrass, Folk and Celtic meshed together into what is truly beautiful music. Great story telling and great composition and arrangement of the music draw you into this amazing trance with Mary's "Old Banjo". I didn't want it to stop. Thanks Mary you touched this old man's heart.

[@THE-HammerMan]

I guess the line is pretty long of those of us in love with this woman!

[@theseustoo]

Agreed! Wholeheartedly! Your description is as good an anything I might come up with... besides which 'Mean' Mary is most certainly the sexiest banjo-picker I've ever seen! (She certainly beats the shit out of Earl Scruggs! (Sorry Earl! You're a fantastic banjo-picker, but you're nowhere near as sexy as Mean Mary!) 😁

[@DooeyBilly1971]

Musc originated from northern Ireland.ulster Scots in 1700s

[@michaelleonetti8564]

Thank you for pointing that out it's got a Irish kick in her music I would love to know her background

[@wernermurr816]

Nothing to add!

[@seafox61]

Bare foot, Bare Legged, and Fantastic Banjo...everywhere...damn...you're gorgeous Mary...

[@georgeolney1550]

Beautiful singer, a banjo artist, and fantastic writer. She's unconventionally beautiful, wildly sexy and knows it. A very special person that produces very special music. She's one in a generation.

[@Woodsy1101]

Excellent description!!

[@jacob.tudragens]

I wish I could have said it as well!

[@watzup62]

I love the way her voice can go from husky to haunting effortlessly.

[@robkunkel8833]

Husky to haunting … well said.

[@jeffcollins9640]

This girl is a Musicians inspiration! Thank you Mary James

[@sergyudin5762]

You are a very beautiful woman and a wonderful musician.I am happy to listen to your songs in distant Russia. Thanks.

[@grandpoohbaa1]

How can a woman with such a wonderful voice and string talent like that be called 'Mean Mary' ?

[@friendlyface4044]

Heh! She chose that as her stage name many years ago, when she was a little girl and already a musical prodigy.

[@ezrider1205]

That is exactly what I have wondered for many years now .... should be Wonderful Mary .... Beautiful Mary !!!!!

[@aubreyleonae4108]

Simply enchanting.

[@kadehebert201]

“Simply enchanting” is an encouraging phrase to me. You see, I created the song lists that you are listening to. I want peace of mind and peace of soul and Spirit for my audience members. My name is Kade, and I research music for KZbin Music. I select songs for my audience members. I have created a series of song lists, as a project for my audience here at KZbin Music. Are you a member of KZbin Music or just visiting? Suggest for you: Stay on the same song list. This is where you will find songs/music that you have never heard before, and love because much of that list contains Celtic folk songs and music, very relaxing music.

[@vladimirknyazev8650]

This song is about our situation now. We lost everything, all we have - voice and banjo. And you. That is all left. I hope you will be able play your banjo for us LIVE. Camilla and Vladimir.

[@ColemanCanna]

I absolutelty would be wiling to pay to listen to her live doing that time.But it would be 3am Eact coast time by the end.

[@shaunspies1108]

Celtic - American music? As a Boer from South Africa, this is what it sounds like, but boy, is she good. Thank you for your music Mary, you bring joy to a lot of souls around the globe.

[@Buzzkill11900]

Love her she's got that American folksong voice. it's like old time folk music meets bluegrass❤❤

[@NotThatBob]

Man, when she wears black, holding that banjo, it's perfection. She's lovely and her music and singing is amazing.

[@cal9064]

Love the Celtic vibe to this song. Takes me back to childhood, with friends and family at the ceilidh. The big cast iron stove banishing the chill outside. While inside, the music played and we sang the old songs from Home. Anyone with Scots or Irish roots will appreciate this one.

[@jeffersonthomason-ry5di]

Every song , video I watch just blows me away . God dang she is so dang talented . Can't get enough of Mean Mary James .

[@littlebear1520]

I can say this when I go into the light if I hear someone singing like her I know that they're truly angels and to think she started when she was only a wee child

[@hawtenslaton4307]

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve heard or seen mean Mary but I’m pleased to see she has retained all her talent and those vocal chords of hers are still astounding. MM is the 8th wonder of the world, can’t convince me otherwise.

[@ColemanCanna]

I would love here to come to the mountians of Virginia an do a show. Us folks out here dont go to the coast or in the big cities, Her show in sept was on the coast. Maybe next time around she may be able to come out this way. We would be happy. I would be willing to pay far more than the 20$ that was asked at that show.

[@Bikerguy5845]

SWEET MARY!!!❤❤❤

[@rexoravec]

As I sit here now, it’s still more than a day away from the premier of this latest music video from Mean Mary. To pass the time, I find myself listening to the song “Old Banjo” from Mean Mary’s “Portrait of a Woman” album while reading the song lyrics found in the description of the video. Together, that’s an enchanting experience. I can definitely picture this song, sung by Mean Mary, as a film score for some movie.

[@ColemanCanna]

I also wrote my experience up a little bit from this one. i will paste it here . Ma'am i have been following you for a while now. I have watched your progression threw the winds of time . As the sound floods my mind an soul i seat an remember my day's traveling the very same line. I grew up on this very music that would be masterfully presented to the yard of the family of friend's as we also rememebered the times of living on the very same line. Time has a way of having you remember what were hard yet fun time's then understand things can been worse. Ma'am thank you for the music that paints a picture of those wonderful memeories .

[@hawtenslaton4307]

Wow, just Love Mary! What a voice, what playing. She embodies her songs! A cute and gorgeous woman at the same time! Just Wow! Keep it coming Mary! 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
