Featuring the production and guitar stylings of Rennie Grant (from Fowl's Colouring Lesson), Roulette Girl shows a musical and songwriting progression guaranteed to expand Mary's fan base nationwide. Featured songs include the punk-Irish anthem "The World is Full of Bastards" and the inebriated confessions of "The Bottle's Talking Now."

Hail Mary!.......2002-11-06

This album is truely amazing. The songs are catchy, the lyrics are funny yet full of truth, and her voice is awsome. The songs are full of crude humor as she talks extensively about drinking and sex. Somehow though, even a more conservative girl like me can grow to loooove her music. The reason is because of how deep her lyrics can be, even though, at a first lisen, it might not appear that way. Her songs can range from very funny like, The World is Full of Bastards, which almost any girl can relate to, and guys laugh about, and Mata Hari, about a fake and slutty girl to more somber like Takes His Place, about relationships never working out. Her songs speak to everyone as she speaks about messing up in life and about bad relationships. Everyone needs to get this cd, support lil local bands...also see her in concert, that is the most amazing experience!

They are GREAT.......2001-12-23

Roulette Girl shows why they are called the power trio with fast, powerful songs. Mary Prankster and the whole band are the GREATEST band still to be playing clubs. They are so good I am still surprised they are not nationally known. I will do my part and spread their music. Everyone I have let listen to my Mary Prnakster CDs have love them and I know you will too.

Good follow-up to the first album.......2001-11-10

Mary Prankster is the best music I have happened upon in the last few years. Roulette Girl is tamer than Blue Skies Over Dundalk, but the MP magic is there. Buy this album. ^_^

Prankster's no joke.......2000-07-08

I happened upon this group when I went out to see Jimmy's Chicken Shack at the Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA. I wasn't expecting much from the opening act, but was blown away by not only Mary's powerful stage presence, but the wicked lyrics and wham-bam rock chords.

In fact, I was so impressed by the band that I bought one of their CD's -- not something I usually do at a show.

Was I ever glad I did. And I've been exposing Mary to every friend that I know -- friends who live everywhere from Toronto to San Francisco to Sydney, Australia.

EVERYONE MUST TAKE A LISTEN TO THIS DISC!

The lyrics, the variation of theme and musical sound, change from song to song, but there is a certain "smartness" about them that resonates from the first funky tune to the last goodbye.

I'm a big fan of smart people and this group is up there. Coupled with very groovable tuneage -- you've got an explosive CD that will stay in your player for a long time.

Buy this disc.

Less energy, less sarcasm.......2000-06-23

I was stunned by Mary Prankster's first CD, "Blue Skies over Dundalk". Her cynicism cut me to the bone.

Regrettably, although pleasant, her new album "Roulette Girl" lacks the drive, the wit, and the drug-induced hallucinations of "Blue Skies". Only one song, "Mata Hari", approached the sheer energy of the first album, and even it struck me as a poorer, gentler ripoff of "Sadie Hawkins Day".

In a way, this CD brought (gasp!) Gordon Lightfoot's career to my mind -- his early albums showed genius in his songwriting and lyrics, but he ran out of things to say long before he stopped producing new music, resulting in dull travesties such as "Protocol".
