Mr. Blackwatch's Mary, Me, an unapologetic Concept Album/Rock Opera ala The Who's Quadrophenia and Animals by Pink Floyd, could well have been released in 1973, though it's story is set firmly in the present. This is the story of Mary: one woman, cradle to grave. Seen primarily, but not entirely, through the men she encounters along the way, Mary survives an abusive childhood in a small town, escapes to the big city-where she discovers life is essentially unchanged-and eventually moves back home, transcendent and finally able to love: herself, most importantly. Spanning 16 songs in 2 acts, Mary, Me was conceived and produced by Tacoma's Doug Mackey - the album was years-arguably decades-in the making. With astounding cover art by Andrew Dimitt, the deluxe package includes two CDs, a forward by U of Iowa Writer's Workshop alum Craig Awmiller, and a 24-page illustrated booklet of lyrics.
