Anyone familiar with the brilliant songs of lesbian singer/songwriter Mary Gauthier won t be at all surprised to learn that she also has an undeniable gift for writing prose. Her first book, Saved By A Song: The Art and Healing Power of Songwriting (St. Martin s Press, 2021), which I would describe as a memoir/manual hybrid, is as personal and revealing as her tunes.
Over the course of 13 songs (11 originals and two by others, including John Prine s Sam Stone and John Lennon s Mother ), Gauthier takes the reader behind the scenes with stories about how the songs came to be, while also delving into the process itself. It s fascinating read for all, songwriters and fans alike. Mary was generous enough to talk to me in advance of the July 6 publication of the book.

Let s spill the tea here and now. What was passing for Motown Records during the late 1990s and early 2000s was a poor excuse for what was once a groundbreaking and important home for music. There were a few exceptions (see Erykah Badu), but the suits and corporate con men running the show mistreated several artists, including gay retro-soul artist Donnie.
In spite of across-the-board favorable reviews, Donnie s exceptional debut album
The Colored Section was virtually ignored. As if to set the record straight (so to speak), Motown has reissued
The Colored Section in an expanded 20th-anniversary edition. Donnie was gracious enough to answer a few questions in advance of the reissue s release.
