MARY IS PLAYING THE GREEN NOTE CAMDEN MAY 15 2016 DONT MISS IT www.facebook.c... LIVE FROM THE GREEN NOTE CAMDEN TOWN THURSDAY 15/5/14 BRILLIANT SHOW www.facebook.c...
Mary has the talent to play the music that defined America! This is the real Country Music, not that plastic crap on the radio today. Show em how its done Mary!
Wow awesome the last time I heard that song was in the 1970s at the allstar club in freer Texas it was sung by Aldean Callaway and the allstars brings back old memories thank you mary
America is not what you see on TV or in the big cities, America is what you experience as you travel across her vast expance of diversity. And when I say diversity I don't mean the type that is trying to choke her, I mean the people filled with the love of freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Mean Mary personifies the idealism of the American people.
Mean Mary is awesome. She has such a unique style, down home, simple country girl chalk full of talent. I love to watch her and her brother play. Hope one day this poor-boy can actually see her in concert live. One day maybe. Mean time keep on playing. We love you and your music.
My goodness lady !!! Wow wee!!!! The suitcase drum awwwsome I didn’t realise that was you also beating the drum … along with all the other talents you displayed here!!!! I can’t believe I only just met you! Love n admiration at first sight ❤
I have been priveleged to see Mean Mary three times on UK tours she has an astounding and versatile talent and I hope to see her again when she next tours the UK
Thank you to you tube recommended feed. Can’t believe I’m just hearing this now. I cannot believe the amount of symphonic metal and blue grass I’ve been introduced to during covid. 🙂
That is the best part of being an American!! We don't have to love everything as everyone else. In the end it really doesn't matter if they are popular as Elvis, Madonna or Johnny Cash. It only matters if it matters to you and you know why.❤
So perfect at everything she does. I personally rank her as equal to any of the master musicians in the classical field. She has elevated this type of musical presentation to that high a level, and she'd probably be the lone occupant of such an elevated class. For me, she is hypnotic.
I only clicked on her from a sidebar a few weeks ago, and yes, I'm beginning to see that she IS a virtuoso . She's great. As a Scot, this appeals to my atavistical musical senses.
I was saddened when Roy Clark died, thinking they really didn't make them like him anymore. People that are just a part of the music they play. Then I found Mary.
Mean Mary ... not just very Talented... but Beautiful as well! ( One of my favorite Dancing songs " Cottoneyed Joe" ... I taught myself to play it on Electric Guitar [ A Candy Apple Red Fender Jazzmaster and my Takamine Cutaway Acoustic] back in the mid 70's mainly because the Country dance band I was in ... we didn't have a Fiddle player in the band at the time!) One night at a gig ... I even got out on the dance floor in front of the stage with a few girl friends of mine and danced the Cottoneyed Joe while playing it on my Guitar ... Ooh the memories from my youth, had a " Ton of Fun " back then! 👍👍😎
I think Mean Mary (Probably the sweetest person you'd ever meet )Is so humble ,she knows how bad ass she is .I have always since high school admired women like her .Crazy cool ,crazy talented Yet two feet firmly planted humbleness seems to be her thing .So beautiful as is her music
This woman has been talented for years,and the music for Ken Burns Civil War series was one of my favorites. Seen her at the renovated theater in Lapeer, around 6 yrs ago in Michigan. Thanx for the memories. I need to pick up the old 5 string again.
I know a guy named Henry. He would drink a fifth of Jack before going on stage with an Irish Piperband with pennywhistles , bagpipes and a mandolin. Boys of the Loch, Chieftains… Incredible fiddle playing. No one really knows him. These people are in love with the music
Came across her on RUclips playing banjo just by chance, what a fantastic musician and this video shows how versatile she is, brilliant. It's also opened my ears to a genre of American music I haven't explored in any depth before, shame on me!
I been listening to her for a while.. this woman 👩 her voice gives me chills and this is from a unrecognized ole washed up songwriter •••• 🖤🗝️🖤🗝️🖤🗝️🖤 She always amazes me
If someone had told me one day I would listen to banjo I would have said, never. At 65 I've been enjoying Bluegrass for the last 2 years. Discovered it one morn in LA. You're the best and have opened a new world in my my eclectic nature. Bless you..
Okay, this is pure talent! She sings while playing the fiddle, oh, and please notice that she is also playing a “base drum” with a pedal with perfect beat.
Mean Mary is the most amazing artist in America today . Her concerts are a must if she is playing one anywhere near you. She was nice enough to do a house concert in St Louis last July-i went-i am now an avid fan of her beautiful music and her gracious presence.
Mary you’re still as beautiful as ever. I remember that first video I saw of you sitting on that front porch playing the banjo. Incredible angelic talent. God bless you Mary.
MY GOD, this is so energizing wow, then i see that thumping is you on the bass drum so cool. I wish your voice was louder, the music is beautiful you play the fiddle so well but dang i like hearing you sign too. D
It cracks me up that at the beginning the audience seemed a little sceptical, at 0:45 woman says "What do we have here," and by the end they were into it. A little disappointed no one is really dancing, I'd have been jumping around, ha. Love this video.
I don't pay attention to how others like or dislike Mean Mary. All I know is i wish i could play as many instruments as her and as well as her. There might be a song or two you may not care for , but you still can't say she did'nt played it good.Not every song can always be liked. There are musicians I really like ,but there are a song or two by them I don't care for either. If you don't get what I'm saying "oh well""
I never liked this song be ause I only knew it as tge remixed version played at weddings. This is unreal! Glad I found this version...it makes up for each and every suffering I endured at various wedding receptions!
Bass pedal & old suitcase, Very Clever Indeed!! Banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin and (American Tourister luggage) LoL, .you are a true virtuoso !! Seriously , I think I will borrow that idea for my studio, that was the best stomp I've heard! I am going back and watching all your vids on my big screen smart TV that I bought awhile back. Keep the videos coming. Thanks!!
Mary has the talent to play the music that defined America! This is the real Country Music, not that plastic crap on the radio today. Show em how its done Mary!
MARY IS FANTASTIC AND YOU ARE SO RIGHT
Amen to that 🤟
She's amazing. Not only does she plays so many instruments so well, it's how musical and listenable it is.
Wow awesome the last time I heard that song was in the 1970s at the allstar club in freer Texas it was sung by Aldean Callaway and the allstars brings back old memories thank you mary
So this is the reason why I wanna visit America, this is America for me
We would love to have you. 🌹
@@chado3000 oh this is so nice to read! ⚘
I reckon you're in for a shock

Chalk is for a blackboard

I just came across Mean Mary music today I looked her Bio up. She has overcome a lot in her life . I am very impressed. Salute.
Thank you to you tube recommended feed. Can’t believe I’m just hearing this now. I cannot believe the amount of symphonic metal and blue grass I’ve been introduced to during covid. 🙂
I just saw the Video of her when she was 6yrs old singing " Tall Tall Texan"" & she's all grown up here👍🤗
fantastic lady and musician
I just left same comment we must've seen same video. Great music draws a crowd!
Hard to believe that people can idolize Madonna and Lady Gag Gag when we have this kind of talent in this country.
THIS!
That is the best part of being an American!! We don't have to love everything as everyone else. In the end it really doesn't matter if they are popular as Elvis, Madonna or Johnny Cash. It only matters if it matters to you and you know why.❤

For anybody to answer:
WHAT DO YOU SAY??
uh , people want Hittlery Clinton , not for prison , but for president !
@@jasavak Lol. That prison time can still happen. Watergate full circle is priceless!! Lol
This woman is awesome like her music 🌼
Just now ran across Mean Mary James....Oh my lord! What an AMAZING talent. Why have we not heard of this Wonder? I am Now a Huge fan!
So perfect at everything she does. I personally rank her as equal to any of the master musicians in the classical field. She has elevated this type of musical presentation to that high a level, and she'd probably be the lone occupant of such an elevated class.

No, there are many more greats. Sadly the music industry promotes garbage like Miley Cyrus instead.

EEHAAA!!! Loves me some Mean Mary! you GO girl!!!
I discovered this young lady a few days ago and instantly subscribed. She should be world renowned.
If I had 1/10th her talent I'd be so impressed with myself!
This woman has been talented for years,and the music for Ken Burns Civil War series was one of my favorites. Seen her at the renovated theater in Lapeer, around 6 yrs ago in Michigan. Thanx for the memories. I need to pick up the old 5 string again.
For 1860 s music it sure is refreshing .brings you back to your roots
Beautiful Mary plays like an angel!!!
I know a guy named Henry. He would drink a fifth of Jack before going on stage with an Irish Piperband with pennywhistles , bagpipes and a mandolin. Boys of the Loch, Chieftains… Incredible fiddle playing. No one really knows him. These people are in love with the music
An excellent performer I love the song iron horse
Watch Iron horse again! At exactly 20 seconds in that little look/smirk just before the next frame would Melt Iron!!👍
