Description
Mary Deloatch recorded a half-dozen killer Gospel records under her real name, while as "Marylyn Scott, The Carolina Blues Girl", she cut a handful of powerful R&B releases which were, musically, wholly at odds with her Gospel sides.
She nonetheless remains something of a "Great Unknown", and someone who was seriously under-recorded, judging by the twenty-one sides featured herein, which appear to comprise her entire recorded output.
Her best-known releases were probably 'I Got What My Daddy Likes' / 'Let's Do The Boogie Woogie' and 'Beer Bottle Boogie' / 'Uneasy Blues' as "Marylyn", and 'Rumors Of War' / 'Life Was A Burden' as "Mary".
All her records have been fiercely-collectable for decades, and they remain a devastating recorded legacy.
These sides are as rare as unicorn manure; all but three of these tracks have never previously appeared on CD, including two which have never previously been released.
