Mary McCaslin

Mary McCaslin (born December 22, 1946 in Indianapolis, Indiana, died October 2, 2022) was an American folk singer who wrote, recorded and performed contemporary folk music. She has recorded primarily for Philo Records and traveled and performed with her ex-husband, Jim Ringer.

McCaslin represents an unbroken link between traditional folksingers and today's "new folk" singer-songwriters. Her music ranges from ballads of the old west to her own songs of the new west and modern times. She is regarded as a pioneer of open guitar tunings, and known for her distinctive vocal style. Her influences can be heard in many younger folk performers.
