Mary-Chapin Carpenter - Come On Come On (Grape Vinyl)

Come On Come On isn’t just Mary-Chapin Carpenter’s most popular album, it’s also a contemporary country landmark. No less than seven of its songs became country hits: “I Feel Lucky”, “I Take My Chances”, “Not Too Much to Ask”, “The Hard Way”, “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her”, and two inspired covers, of Dire Straits’ “The Bug”, and Lucinda Williams’ “Passionate Kisses”.

More importantly, though, this 1992 release pointed the way towards what country music would become in the 21st century with its savvy seasoning of pop and soft-rock sounds into a more personal style of country songwriting from a female point of view. The flourishing Americana and alt-country audiences of the early ‘90s ate this album up, and includes guest stars like Rosanne Cash, The Indigo Girls, and Shawn Colvin.
