Music reviews of Essential Mary Chapin Carpenter
Music Review: The definitive MCC collection on 1 CD doesn't yet exist...
Rating: 5 Stars
You gotta give this one 5 stars just for existing. We can all make our own playlists of Chapin and they will all be different, which is the best testimony to the amazing, wide-ranging appeal of her music.
To put this collection in perspective, I'm disappointed that it is neither a definitive hits collection, nor a great compliment to the wonderful, eclectic, oh-so-MCC "Party Doll and other favorites".
Since PD gave us 6 live cuts that featured among them 4 of her 9 Top 10 hits, my suggestion for a follow-up hits collection would have been to give us live versions of the other hits on this one (namely, live versions of "I Feel Lucky", "Shut Up And Kiss Me", "Passionate Kisses", and "He Thinks He'll Keep Her" - can we please someday get the version with the all-star backing chorus from the "Women of Country" special???)
One major omission is the exclusion of "Never Had It So Good". Come on, this was her first Top 10 hit and has yet to appear on ANY of her greatest hits packages. She only had 9 top 10's so can we please get them all on one CD? Also, this CD overlooks other of her early C&W hits like "How Do", "You Win Again", etc, whilst also ignoring "A Place In The World", which was already unfairly ignored on "Party Doll"! "Let Me Into Your Heart" and "I Want To Be Your Girlfriend" deserve to be here.
My suggestion for the tracklist for this CD would be very different. It would pay homage to Party Doll as more of a "Party Doll Vol. 2" by honoring the theme of giving us some live versions of hits and including rarities and great album cuts. Tell me what you think...
1) Passionate Kisses (full version, Live At Wolftrap)
2) He Thinks He'll Keep Her (live version, Women of Country special)
3) Shut Up And Kiss Me (live in the UK, 1994)
4) I Feel Lucky (live from Austin City Limits)
5) Never Had It So Good (#8 Country hit finally recognized as a hit!)
6) You Win Again
7) The Bug (single edit)
8) Tender When I Want To Be
9) House Of Cards
10) Why Walk When You Can Fly (single remix)
11) Let Me Into Your Heart (single remix)
12) I Want To Be Your Girlfriend
13) Jenny Dreamed of Trains (rarity)
14) Downtown (rarity)
15) I Am A Town (lost gem album cut)
16) Halley Came To Jackson (lost gem album cut)
17) How Do
18) Quittin' Time (Lp version)
