  • Bio

    .... .. .. ........ ....www.hot-lyts.com.... "LOVE, LOSS & LUNACY," the new album, out NOW! Available everywhere and at ..Mary Lee's Corvette... ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ..Mary Lee's Corvette.. was born on the lower east side of Manhattan at a place called Sin-e (the original, on St. Mark's Place). It started with Andy York on acoustic guitar, Joe Chiofalo on accordion and Mary Lee on vocals and tambourine. After a few months of performing, the group went into the studio to record live-to-two track demos at the suggestion of producer/guitarist/rock expert ..Eric "Roscoe" Ambel.. who knew this was the best way to capture what was happening in the live setting. Drums and bass were added to create the first record, the eponymous Mary Lee's Corvette. Of the 16 songs recorded, 8 were chosen for the promotional CD. The music ended up in some influential hands the late Billboard editor in chief Timothy White, and Bruce Warren and David Dye at WXPN in Philadelphia. From there, press and airplay began and a record deal followed which enabled the group to go into the studio and record a full album, True Lovers of Adventure, which further established Mary Lee's reputation as "a masterful songwriter" (Village Voice), a writer of "songs so meticulously crafted they sound completely natural" (Jon Pareles, New York Times), and "one of the most compelling voices in modern rock" (Dan Aquilante, New York Post). Then came a night that changed everything, one rainy night at Arlene Grocery in NYC, where Mary Lee and band accepted an outrageous invitation to perform the complete Dylan classic Blood On The Tracks. The show was recorded on a cassette tape, Mary Lee transferred it to CD, burned a handful of copies, and within a few months the CD landed in Rolling Stone with 4 stars and on Dylan's own website. This lead to the next studio album, 700 Miles, and a world tour opening for Joe Jackson. Mary Lee's Corvette arrived back home to an invitation to open for Dylan himself at The Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. The new record Love, Loss & Lunacy picks up where 700 Miles left off, with a feeling of having fully arrived into a living world of rock n' roll.

  • Ice Cream For Quo magaz…

    Mary Lee was kind enough to give a fascinating interview for issue #8 of Ice Cream For Quo, in which she talks about covering Bob Dylan's Blood On The Tracks LP and much more. If anyone would like a copy, please get in touch with me.

    Thanks.
