Artist: Katie Pruitt
Song: “Merry Christmas, Mary Jane” (single)
In Their Words: “I wrote ‘Merry Christmas, Mary Jane’ on Christmas Eve at my parents’ house when I was home from college. I was feeling pretty lonely, a lot of my friends had moved away, and I was fighting with my parents. I really just wanted to smoke some weed. I couldn’t find any, so I just wrote a song about it instead.” — Katie Pruitt
