Mary Gauthier Releases RECKONING Album With New Track Judgement Day

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter/author Mary Gauthier has released her most direct and socially-conscious album, Reckoning (Soundly/Thirty Tigers). Reckoning exudes an urgency during turbulent times, while offering inspiration and hope.

Gauthier's new single 'Judgement Day' is a stark and deeply affecting meditation on faith, violence, and moral courage as society continues down a path into fear, division, and more violence. 'After violent killings of protesters by ICE on the frozen streets on Minneapolis, the Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire called for his priests to get affairs in order, which essentially was a call for new Christian martyrs,' says Gauthier. 'I wrote this song from the viewpoint of a young priest who heard the call and must decide what to do.'

Each song on Reckoning serves as a compelling vignette with characters who arrive at pivotal moments and face choices that ultimately define lives, communities, and even history.

The previously released 'Soldier of Fortune,' 'Alcohol and Adderall,' 'Some Times,' and the title track offered an early glimpse into the deep emotional terrain of Reckoning, setting the stage for today's release.
