Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking an unexpected and triumphant return for the reclusive outsider artist, this album was released decades after his initial late-70s underground output. 'Mary Had Brown Hair' retains Gary Wilson's notoriously quirky, anxious blend of synth-funk and avant-garde pop, delivering deeply personal, often disturbing lyrical narratives.
