Drag Queens In Limousines, the celebrated sophomore album by acclaimed, Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Mary Gauthier, turns 25 this year. To commemorate this milestone, Kill Rock Stars will reissue the album on vinyl, for the very first time, on October 18th. The vinyl package will include new retrospective liner notes written by Gauthier, as she reflects on the road that led to the recording and the impact it had on her inspiring path forward.

Released independently on September 13th, 1999, Drag Queens In Limousines introduced the world to a special songwriter whose character-based narratives spoke of the outsiders, those not considered the “normal” members of society. Much like so many of her musical heroes, such as John Prine, Lucinda Williams and Tom Waits, Gauthier’s thoughtful lyrics and honest voice shone light on the humanity deep within her protagonists, which served to remind us that we are all connected after all. Drag Queens In Limousines gave us a robust taste of what was to come.

“In retrospect, I believe these were the songs that helped me find my writer’s voice,” says Gauthier. “My characters, like me, were on the edge, but they were also on the verge. People cracked, crumbled, and burned as they tried to deal with the everyday dramas of love vs. lovelessness, community vs. loneliness, and despair vs. faith. I was learning about sobriety, humility, and about how a brutal crack in the ego could become a lifesaving gift. Many of these songs remain on my set list today.”
