Description
|
|
|
|
(2011 Grammy Nominee for Best Contemporary Folk Album) A person of heart, soul, and intellect, as well as musical and lyrical artistry, Mary Chapin Carpenter shares her mental landscape in a gratifyingly honest fashion through this typically pungent array of new songs. "I Put My Ring Back On" has a rueful, "We Can Work It Out" approach and has guest vocals by Vince Gill, while "Zephyr" and "I Was a Bird" (featuring Alison Krauss) both have an irresistible lilt and are two of many showcases for MCC's gorgeous contralto and backup band of Nashville veterans. Studded with vivid imagery, "Mrs. Hemingway" pictures the milieu of Ernest's first, spurned wife while "4 June 1989" tells of a valiant, jailed protester from Tiananmen Square. The title song is an anthem born of hard-won wisdom and of a dogged determination to choose hope.
