Weeping Mary (Alva Mix)

Lucas Artists Residency Program

"Weeping Mary was composed by Matthew Petty after spending time in Weeping Mary, TX and meeting the eldest descendants of those freed slaves whose land was stolen. Mr. Petty asked me to record the song in his studio while we were Lucas Artist Fellows at the Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga, CA. It was recorded in 2018 and today we can feel the profound resonance for the times in which we are living. It is time to be shared. Listen, weep, mourn, love and keep and moving." —Alva Rogers
