Woman Creature Portrait Of A Woman Pt. 2

Mary sets the monster free in this highly anticipated Part 2 to her 2022 album Portrait of a Woman. Mainly recorded at Mary's home studio, the album showcases her exceptional gifts as a songwriter, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, producer, and a howling "Woman Creature." No studio gimmickry is needed here. Mary is joined once again by her brother Frank James, who lends his 12-string guitar and vocals on multiple tracks, including the unique addition of jungle animal sounds on the infectious track "Tarzan." Mary's mother, author (and former Florida "snake-catcher") Jean James, co-writes on six of the tracks, adding a fresh creativity that highlights why this mother-daughter duo are award winners.Woman Creature is a testament to Mean Mary's artistry, offering listeners an album that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining, and a perfect continuation of the journey started with Portrait of a Woman, Part 1. The album's mix of soulful ballads and lively tracks highlights her unique style and creative vision, with her signature banjo playing adding a distinctive flair. Each song captures the essence of Mean Mary's talent and originality, making this album a standout in her impressive discography.
