Tasty Country-Fried Rock, June 26, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: There Goes the Wonderstruck (Audio CD)
I bought this album back in the late 80s, and I'm sure I wasn't their targeted customer -- I had a nosering, Doc Martens, and a huge collection of industrial music. Mary's Danish was full of alt-country guitar licks and Southern accents. But I recognized this as truly great music when I heard it. "Don't Crash the Car Tonight" was on my city's alternative rock station, and it's a perfect song -- gritty, twangy, sassy, smart. "Mary Had a Bar" is a sing-along song so good, you can almost smell the beer. "Well, Well (Home is Where the Heartbreak Is)" and "It'll Probably Make Me Cry" still go into my car CD player when I'm having a tough time in my love life.
If you're any kind of fan of late 80s, early 90s alt-rock, find this CD.

I wore it out, August 24, 2002

This is a great album... I originally bought the cassette and have worn it out from play. I wish I'd have bought it on CD to begin with.

wish for the wonderstruck, December 1, 2011
This review is from: There Goes the Wonderstruck (Audio CD)
well after 20 years i still recall when i first heard Mary's Danish while living and working in the Fullerton area of Southern California. they were practically a standing icon of the Cal State Fullerton campus. this album in particular has always been a musical favortite of mine and people who love music as i do will usually ask "who is that your're listening to?" It is original song writing and performance of a youthful co-ed working group whose eclectic subjects are set to musical styles that combine punk, pop, rock , ska and country executed in a freshly original and tasteful concoction.
Too bad i never received the disc........ah ppbbbhhhh!!!!!
