Sparrow Alone

Track six of Alone, a banjo song written with Jean James.
Mean Mary, from Alone (2020)

Bluestown Music credits Mary James and Jean James as writers of this sixth track. Americana UK counts it among the banjo-driven tracks that show her instrumental skill, with articulate banjo play even in minimal form, and FolkWorld groups it with the album's songs of trial and triumph. The title echoes her 2011 novel Sparrow Alone on the Housetop and her 2013 album Year of the Sparrow, though no source says they are connected. We found no statement from her about the song, no chart history, covers or samples, and no confirmed video; setlist.fm lists no performance.
