DEMOLITION: Local CD Reviews MARY UKELADY, LOVE IS STRONG ... "Rife with upbeat, simply performed songs and joyous, hopeful imagery, Maine’s Mary “Ukelady” Hargreaves’ new full-length disc is a RARITY IN POP MUSIC, ... it’s an album you can hand to someone under 16 or over 65 and know there’s nothing on it that’s the least bit offensive, dour, or pretentious. In fact, many of the songs on 'Love Is Strong' could be considered an antidote to the cynicism of our troubled times, depending on your musical tastes. _____ In that light, we’d pick this disc as suitable for seniors, kids, or those into roots or folk music. _____

Mary Ukelady, THE ULTIMATE FREE SPIRIT, expresses hope, joy, love, and happiness on virtually every song included among this even dozen, especially on the title track, “Better Days,” and the whimsical album closer “Bumps On A Log.” * * * EXPERTLY RECORDED AT BATH'S BROWN DOG STUDIO, THE ALBUM ALSO FEATURES THE CREAM OF THAT AREA'S ROOTS MUSICIANS * * * including guitarist and keyboardist Earl Bigelow, bassist David Kent (who frequently performs with Ukelady), drummer Hal Ahlers, horn player Scott Davis, fiddler Jim Tolles, and vocalists Briana Bigelow and Isabelle Wilson. _____ We struggled to encapsulate Ukelady’s point of view, so we’ll let this statement from the liner notes suffice: “I won’t forget the laughter, the woodstove, stories, friendships, and the wonderful artists whose individual talents seems to bond with my musical endeavor. And that is … to help make the world a better place.” – Syl Nathan, Good Times Magazine /ME. N.H. Oct.17, 2006
