This is Mary Lou's 1998 release - "Got No Shadow" - We in the Monastery love Mary Lou and her work. She first gained notice playing acoustic guitar and singing in and around Boston's subway stations (particularly on the Red Line, as noted by the name she chose for her music and lyric publishing company, On the Red Line Music

Lord toured three separate times with Elliott Smith during the 1990s. Smith also wrote and helped Lord record a song called "I Figured You Out" in 1997.

She announced in 2005 that she suffered from a rare vocal cord affliction known as spasmodic dysphonia.:-( She thereafter became more involved in A&R work and started a new management company with Kevin Patey, Jittery Jack Management.

    She is awesome.  I did not know about the vocal cord issue, no wonder there's no new music.  Her facebook posts are funny.

    Yes, that must have been incredibly hard to hear her diagnosis at the time.  These songs are really good!
