Across town from the Stax studios in Memphis, high school student Mary Frierson & her brother Johnny decided to try out for the label by just taking the bus over & walking in the door. Stax's Jim Stewart liked Johnny's songs, but once he heard the funny little downswoop in Mary's voice (it's a whole lot like Mary from the Shangri Las!), the label gave her a new name and groomed her for stardom. She got to tour with Rufus Thomas & play on bills with Otis Redding, and the cream of the Stax house band put distorted guitar and supple chunks of organ behind her. After just a few singles she decided to become a mom instead, narrowly missing the plane crash that killed Redding. Tracklisting: Bar B Q, Gone For Good, Your Love Is All I Need, After Laughter Comes Tears, I Wish I Were That Girl, What Will Tomorrow Bring, Wondering, Deep In My Heart, Give You What I Got, Crying All By Myself, Crowded Park, Last Love, Love at First Sight, She's Moving Away, He Hasn't Failed Me Yet, Please Don't Leave Me, The Same Guy, Young Man, Can't Stay Away, First Kiss, Reap What You Sow, Young and Foolish.
