Mary Gauthier - Troubadour of Truth


(Photo by Rodney Bursell)

Excerpt from review by Richard Haslop - Critical CD 

"Her life and the people in it provided wonderful material for her songs, but The Foundling took her, and indeed most, autobiographical songwriting to an entirely new level. Gauthier had been given up for adoption at birth and after half a lifetime of going off the rails and getting back on them, she tracked down a mother who didn’t want to meet her. The Foundling is that story, and she tells it without blinking, without self-pity, and in a way that makes its lessons — the acceptance of what life throws at you and the redemption to be found in that acceptance — applicable to all of us."
