*** Digipack

For years I have wanted to write a collection of songs that tells a story, and I’ve finally done it, using Willie Nelsons the Redheaded Stranger as my compass. I’ve loved that record for 30 years, it’s a masterpiece that sings the story of a preacher who shot his cheating wife. Blue Eyes crying in the rain was the big song.

On the FOUNDLING, songs tell the story of a kid abandoned at birth who spent a year in an orphanage and was adopted, who ran way from the adopted home and ended up in show business, who searched for birth parents late in life and found one and was rejected, and who came thru the other side of all this still believing in love.

Yea, it’s my story.

I recorded the project in Toronto with Mike Timmons from the Cowboy Junkies producing, and we used primarily Canadian musicians. I love the way Mike was able to capture my story and create moods around it, a dream soundscape. He brought his sister Margo in and she sang beautiful harmonies, adding another layer of emotional punch in the right places. The musicians breathed their hearts and souls into my songs, and they brought them to life. I am pleased beyond my wildest dreams at how the record came out. (marygauthier. com)
