Editorial Reviews

Mike Joyce, Washington Post Weekend, Dec. 17, 1999

There's something about Mary Prankster all right, something that truly stands out, and it isn't merely that the Annapolis-based punk-folk-pop-rock singer has Betty Boop's looks and Alanis Morrisette's tongue. There are plenty of cute or angry pop acts around, but what sets Prankster apart from the pack are her songs - smart and funny, self-deprecatory and lacerating by turns.

Product Description

Roulette Girl is the much-anticipated follow-up to Mary's successful debut, Blue Skies Over Dundalk, which has garnered them a nationwide cult following. Featuring the production and guitar stylings of Rennie Grant (from Fowl's Colouring Lesson), Roulette Girl shows a musical and songwriting progression guaranteed to expand Mary's fan base nationwide. Featured songs include the punk-Irish anthem "The World is Full of Bastards" and the inebriated confessions of "The Bottle's Talking Now."

5.0 out of 5 stars Hail Mary!, November 5, 2002

By	Elizabeth A. Crawford (arlington, va United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album is truely amazing. The songs are catchy, the lyrics are funny yet full of truth, and her voice is awsome. The songs are full of crude humor as she talks extensively about drinking and sex. Somehow though, even a more conservative girl like me can grow to loooove her music. The reason is because of how deep her lyrics can be, even though, at a first lisen, it might not appear that way. Her songs can range from very funny like, The World is Full of Bastards, which almost any girl can relate to, and guys laugh about, and Mata Hari, about a fake and slutty girl to more somber like Takes His Place, about relationships never working out. Her songs speak to everyone as she speaks about messing up in life and about bad relationships. Everyone needs to get this cd, support lil local bands...also see her in concert, that is the most amazing experience!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good follow-up to the first album, November 9, 2001

Mary Prankster is the best music I have happened upon in the last few years. Roulette Girl is tamer than Blue Skies Over Dundalk, but the MP magic is there. Buy this album. ^_^

5.0 out of 5 stars Go, girl!, January 18, 2000

By	Spencer K. Stephens (Rockville, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ms. Prankster has proven to herself and the world that she is not a wacky one-CD wonder. She is a superb musician and a way funny lyricist. She smiles coyly as she sings on topics from Mata Hari's men to her years in the Anne Arundel County public school system. And she lets her guitar do her talking. You Rock, Sister.
