Mary Gauthier's Mercy Now scored #12 on Harp's 50 Greatest Albums of 2005, #3 on NY Daily News' Best Albums of 2005, and made the Chicago Sun-Times' Top 2005 Albums List.
“Gauthier continues to write provocative songs that have a weary wise edge that's perfect for her rich smoky vocals. Due to the darkly noirish lyrics, these aren't pretty songs. Instead, they have a soulful, aching grace that pulls no punches.”
