Here is a link to a very long interview of Mary Gauthier:

I love her voice in this song Odell. It's very unique and unaffected. The video is depressing but the vocals and guitar are rich and beautiful.
So I just read about her on wikipedia. Wow, she did more in her 1st 35 years than I will ever do in my lifetime. Runaway, drug addict, jail time, culinary school, even opened a successful restaurant. Also, kind of interesting that she wrote her first song when she was 35. Thanks for sharing; I'm really enjoying all the links.
