Mary Chapin Carpenter Stones In The Road (2-LP, colored Vinyl)

(Real Gone Music) 17 tracks, colored vinyl in bright yellow, with two printed inner sleeves with lyrics and includes a complete bonus side with a live performance from 1994, the same year Stones in the Road was released!
The accolades and successes of this album are almost too numerous to list here: No. 1 on the country charts, Top 10 on the Billboard 200 pop charts, a No. 1 country hit with “Shut Up and Kiss Me,” other charting singles like “Tender When I Want to Be,” “House of Cards” and “Why Walk When You Can Fly?” as well as Grammys for Best Country Album and Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
But hits and awards aside, what makes this album special is that each song has its own unique emotional impact, starting with the title track, first covered by Joan Baez; you could also name the transcendent “John Doe No. 24” and the brilliant “End of My Pirate Days” as the first of their kind on this amazingly consistent and rewarding album (which Country Universe called the best contemporary country album ever!). Some credit is due to the band that producer John Jennings assembled, including drummer Kenny Aronoff, keyboardist Benmont Tench, guitarists Lee Roy Parnell and Steuart Smith, and backing vocalists Trisha Yearwood, Shawn Colvin and Linda Williams. But as always with a Mary Chapin Carpenter album, the songwriting is the real star: funny, wistful, personal and REAL. With beautiful hooks to boot! Side D contains the four tracks that appeared on the EP 'Live at 'Her Majesty's Theatre' recorded in London, including a version of 'Shut Up and Kiss Me',
