Making full use of her brand-new, four-piece band Cotillion, Brighton-based folk singer Mary Hampton‘s second album, Folly, may be a slightly more expansive record than her sparsely produced 2008 debut, My Mother’s Children, but it’s still her ethereal gliding vocals which remain her most valuable asset. Whether they’re swooping effortlessly over the gothic cello drone of “Forget Me Not” and the string-soaked adaptation of the Emily Dickinson poem, “No. 32,” or providing an eerie sense of melancholy on the achingly tender ballad “Lullaby for the Beleaguered” and the a cappella, sea shanty-styled closer “Pear Tree,” Hampton’s mixture of whimsy, eeriness, and intensity somehow manages to bring something new to a sound steeped in tradition.

After her boss in a high powered Washington public relations firm is caught in a political scandal, fledgling lobbyist Dempsey Jo Killebrew is left almost broke, unemployed, and homeless. Out of options, she reluctantly accepts her father s offer to help refurbish Birdsong, the old family place he recently inherited in Guthrie, Georgia. All it will take, he tells her, is a little paint and some TLC! Enjoy Mary Kay Andrews: TheFixer Upper, a fast paced Hidden Object game!
