Mary Lee...You nailed it!!! Just
got the blood on the tracks cd last week. It's all I've been
listening too for days now. As a long-time Dylan fan...I
have to say this is absolutely the best cover album of Dylan's
work I have to date. Needless to say, I'm now a MLC
fan as well. A sincere THANK YOU for your outstanding and
timeless interpretation of this classic.

Hi Mary,
Witnessed your somewhat impromptu
performance at Bush Hall (London) in support of Thea Gilmore on
11th Feb '04. Let me simply say that I'm generally not great with
names, especially names of support acts at gigs... so the fact
that yours is clearly etched in my mind a whole 24hrs later is
a very positive sign. I honestly thoroughly enjoyed your performance
and I think it's safe to say that reflects the general consensus
of opinion on the night - based on the fabulous reception you got!
Loved the Dylan cover of 'Lonesome' but also found myself captivated
by your own material... particularly your thought-provoking lyrics
and your lovely sense of humour. I feel it will be difficult to
prevent spontaneous outbursts of "What's the status with Gladys?" for
months to come. You made a valuable contribution to a No.1 gig!!
Many thanks - hope to see you again in the not-too-distant future.
All the best
Mark

Lee,
I'm the guy who came up to you after the Boston show, (who asked
you to the autograph 700 miles to the whole family including the
dog (melvis)) Well, on our way home from the show we popped on the
discs and was blown away. Your original songs are moving and powerful,
and to take on a classic like Blood on the Tracks and make it your
owm was a masterstroke. Not only did it gobs of courage, you knocked
it out of the park. I also realize although you and Joe Jackson
are different styles, you both deliver songs with passion and conviction.
(it's what brought me to see Joe to begin with) Anyways, I thought
I'd let you know the last two times I spoke to an opening act they
both went onto stardom. One was kd lang who I saw in a club half
the size of the paradise. The second was Sue Tedeschi. I hope it
goes three in a row...
Keep the music coming! Break it Open. You are truly a gifted song
writer, and performer. (we did travel some 60 miles for the show,
not quite 700..) George in Boston
Mary Lee,
Hi. Just wanted to say that my husband and I attended the JJ concert
here in Chicago 3/30 and were truly impressed by your band. We kept
looking at each other to check out our reactions, which were compatibly,
"How cool is this?" But not just for us: The buzz all
around us there in the front row at the Vic was similar, "Damn
she's good"-type commentary, and I just thought you'd like
to know you have many new fans. We love your sound, and are so grateful
for songwriting that is the polar opposite of "more stupider",
for having ignored some very absurd "constructive criticism."
We look forward to you and the band returning to Chicago sometime
soon on your own, Superstar. Keep us posted!
Best wishes, Janine& Brian

p.s.
love the diary reports of your Grandmother
I just bought your 700 Miles cd and really like it. I had only heard
you once or twice on WFUV in New York and immediately liked you.
I haven't even digested the whole album but felt compelled to write.
So far my favorites are Out From Under It and All The Rage, but
I like every song and have to listen a little more. All The Rage
is just outstanding...I find it moving...and your voice is so good!
I think it's one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. The
strings are really nice too. Just a beautifully written and performed
song.
I
can't wait to hear more.

I
would just like to say how much I enjoyed the show in London supporting
Joe Jackson. Having seen your shows before both accoustically, with
a full band and now a three peice I knew that it would be enjoyable
and true to form yet again you managed to keep a large crowd very
quiete and attentive. I have seen countless times before support
acts (and much bigger names in the UK) fail to do so in front of
someone elses audience. But Never Mary Lees Corvette!!!! Good to
hear the new stuff , More Stupid and the Nothing Song alongside
such older material like Status with Gladys.
