Mary's nephew is the playwright and author Sebastian Barry - he was recently interviewed on RTE Radio 1 and selected a piece of Mary's music to play. It re-ignited my interest in Mary and the wonderful pure voice. She is such a consummate musician - her phrasing and pitch are perfect. Some of her song choices leave a lot to be desired in my opinion but when she gets the song right too, it really is superb. I remember years ago I had an album of hers where 2 of the songs she had written herself using her first husband, Richard Selig's poems as lyrics. I remember thinking they were wonderful, progressive and complex pieces that really demonstrated her musicianship. Unfortunately I don't have those old albums and the stuff available on CD seems to be largely light popular stuff.
