People crack, crumble and burn in Filth & Fire as they deal with the everyday dramas that depict universal themes of love vs. lovelessness, community vs. loneliness, and despair vs. faith. But, they're dealing. And for Mary Gauthier, that seems to be what matters most.

Filth & Fire appeared on many of the top CD of the Year lists throughout the US, with Jon Pareles in The New York Times ranking the album as the #1 Independent Album of the Year.

'Unflinching honesty makes Filth & Fire a triumph, the best singer-songwriter album of the year...' reported No Depression, shortly after the album's release in July 2002. ' Filth & Fire should establish her as one of the finest artists in the whole alt country field,' reported the Washington Post.
