These "in their own words" pieces are tough to produce. The words have to sing, the music has to speak to us. Mary is a symphony all by herself as she tells us about her family, her music and herself.
There are threads of the typical like drinking and drugging, but told, and produced, in such a way that we don't feel like this is just another singer working out her demons. There's a person in there we want to know.
Now one would expect that the team from XPN would deliver perfection. And they do! This piece is crafted with care and produced to perfection.
It can be aired by music stations or news stations within another program. I would cover a poor news mag segment with this piece if Mary were in my town for a show.
