Biography
Mary Lou Lord first gained notice playing acoustic guitar and singing in and around Boston subway stations (particularly on the Red Line, as noted by the name she chose for her music and lyric publishing company, On the Red Line Music.)
She has claimed that she had a romantic relationship with Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain before the group’s rise to mainstream fame. This claim was disputed by some, including Cobain himself, though it has been suggested that Cobain’s wife Courtney Love made him publicly lie about his past relationships to prove his devotion to her. In 1994, Lord showed up uninvited at a party for Courtney Love’s band Hole, which ended with Love chasing Lord down Sunset Strip.
Lord toured three separate times with Elliott Smith during the 1990s. He also wrote and helped Lord record a song called, “I Figured You Out”, in 1997. Smith would later say that, “I gave that song away ‘cause I thought it sounded like The Eagles and that it sucked.”
Her recordings have been a mixture of covers (including songs by Elliott Smith and Richard Thompson) and original material, with a number of songs written by, or in collaboration with, Nick Saloman of the British band The Bevis Frond.

I really liked her up until and including "Got No Shadow", but that live album is reaaaally mediocre and "Baby Blue" was complete garbage... Kinda expected better after a six year gap between studio albums. She barely wrote any of it, too. Bah. Sorry about the vocal cord problem, Mary Lou, would really like you to come back and do something to prove you actually are good.

love mary.

Sucks that she's not playing music anymore. "Baby Blue" was an awful note to go out on... Its barely even listenable. At least we'll always have self-titled/Martian Saints/Got No Shadow.

She's great. And I highly doubt Elliot Smith did any serious bashing of her music.

Elliott Smith helped her record..and he bashed he music straight after that. Got to love the irony.

It is so great to find Mary here! I used to see her playing at Park Street station when I was in college.
