She started playing music at age 22, I met her back in 1996, she was talking on a CB Radio and faked me out with her "English Accent"
what a tease back then.
Mary Lou had a voice that drew you in, you wanted to know more about her the more she talked. Way before she ever got signed to a major label, we had a date (she remembers)
In 1993 I remember seeing her performing in the Boston Subway System, dressed rather shabbily. When you got within hearing range, there was always a crowd around her, not always tossing tons of change, but rather amazed that such a lovely sounding voice would be found in this venue.
Mary Lou was always influenced by like Neil Young, Tom Rush, and other folk type artists, with a love for college radio and alternative as well.
Mary Lou has had her up's and downs, a few years ago, in 1999 right after she got signed she was in rehab for a bit, then she had a baby.
I remember cruising down the street and turning the radio on to WBCN, a major Boston Radio Station, well it was her on the radio. Mary Lou sang "Lights Are Changing" by The Bevis Frond. I freaked out, but I always knew she had talent.
Back in Beverly, Massachusetts I ran into Mary Lou at a party there one night, I think it was around 1998. She had lost the shabby clothes, her hair was beautiful and I felt compelled to kiss her, but it had been so long, and I knew she was on her way to fame, having heard rumors of a Sony Record Deal. We talked and laughed, but I did not ask her much about her music career, we spoke about the subway having both played down there.
Now I heard she has signed a deal Work/Columbia a couple of years ago. We lost touch, but her accomplishments are well deserved.
"Some Jingle Jangle Morning" is her debut single
Today, I freaked again as I was searching through Apple's iTunes Music Store and found Mary Lou Lord on the list!
