Playlist: The Very Best of Mary Chapin Carpenter

Performer: Mary Chapin Carpenter
Producer: Gregg Geller (Compilation)...
Distributor: Sony Music Entertainment

Notes: Liner Note Author: Jay Orr. Part of the ongoing PLAYLIST series of budget-priced single artist anthologies in minimal eco-friendly packaging, PLAYLIST: THE VERY BEST OF MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER is a solid overview of the country-folk singer-songwriter's career. All of Carpenter's best known songs are here in these 14 tracks, from the Cajun stomp of "Down at the Twist and Shout" to the jangly pop-rockers "I Take My Chances" and "He Thinks He'll Keep Her." The package also includes a CD-ROM data track that contains complete liner notes and photos.

Mary Chapin Carpenter came to country music in the 1980s from a "coffee-house folk" background, bringing with her the genre's brainy introspection. An easterner and a Princeton graduate, Carpenter is an unlikely country star, but hits such as "Down at the Twist and Shout," "I Feel Lucky," and "Shut Up and Kiss Me" demonstrate that her finger is squarely on the country audience's pulse
