Mary Chapin Carpenter – Stones In The Road (CD, Album, 1994, Columbia CK 64327)

Why This CD Matters
After the commercial success of Come On Come On, Mary Chapin Carpenter took a more reflective, folk-rooted approach on this album, centering the songs on close observation and restrained arrangements. “Stones In The Road,” “John Doe No. 24,” and “Outside Looking In” explore social concern and isolation, while “Shut Up And Kiss Me” adds a brighter counterpoint. The result is a thoughtful blend of literate songwriting, folk, and country rock.
