Mary's 1999 release begins with the line, 'I hated High School, I prayed it would end...' -- an appropriate beginning for an album of songs about people whose lives are lived outside of 'normal. ' She writes about Karla Faye Tucker, the woman executed by the state of Texas in '98; about the darker side of drinking in I Drink; about falling for a hard-core stripper in Evangeline; and about feeling at home with society's outcasts in the title track. Supporting vocalists include Catie Curtis, Caroline Aiken, and The Austin Lounge Lizards. If you've ever felt different from those around you, you'll relate to the characters you meet in these songs.
