Liner Notes

'A merry sexton is a happy but inferior official whose main duties are to attend to burials...'

A Mary Saxton is exactly the opposite! She's a blue - but superior - official whose main duties are to give birth to the soul in the music of our time!

This Mary Saxton has that indefinable quality offered by only a very few in the music industry over the last few years. As you'll hear on this album, Mary exhibits the soul of Aretha, the softness of Diana and the smoothness of Dionne. Put these qualities into one powerful little package and you've got the sensationalism of Mary Saxton. She's the type of expressionist that composers like Mavis McAullay, who wrote most of the songs on this album, want to hear interpreting their lyrics. She's that rare kind of artist that inspires the back up musicians to the ultimate degree of musical competence.

Don't take my word for it, nestle into the broadloom, wind up the victrola and let things happen...as they will.

If you're not ready for a - merry sexton - give a dig to MARY SAXTON!!!
