Mary Barrett Session

During the final week of October, Vibe 56 had the opportunity to host a very special recording session with artist Mary Barrett. The session consisted of eight full days of tracking and overdubs with some of Nashville's finest session players, and of course Mary herself.

The premise of the session was daunting. Mary had been diagnosed with Carcino-Sarcoma, which is a rare form of cancer and known to be life-threatening. She had been given less than six months to live. Mary was determined to finish recording one more album project.

We are saddened to learn that Mary Barrett passed away during the evening of November 10th.

Producer Joel Wild helped Mary set-up a YouTube account and posted video diaries each day that documented how the project was progressing. The videos are presented below. For more information about Mary Barrett you can visit Mary's website.
