My old car broke down after work at 2AM in the rough, red-light district of downtown Seattle, or "The Wrong Side of Town".    Funny country blues song about being scared and having to stick up for myself amidst all kinds of characters. Great groove, raw vocals, blues harmonica, keys, electric guitar, drums, bass. From my first album.  I played all the instruments except drums (Steve Swartz).

Wrong Side Of Town

Beautiful bluegrass story song with Mary playing guitar, violin, banjo, harmonica, mandolin, keyboards and guitar. (with bass and drums on song also).  Walk along the Ancient Roads with Mary in this ballad as she sings poignant pictures of growing up, summarizing what she learns from others, and walking the Ancient Roads of time, searching for truth.
