Come On Come On
Come On Come On isnât just Mary Chapin Carpenterâs most popular album, with sales of 3 million copies. Itâs also a contemporary country landmark. No less than seven of its songs became country hits: âI Feel Lucky,â âI Take My Chances,â âNot Too Much to Ask,â âThe Hard Way,â âHe Thinks Heâll Keep Her,â and two inspired covers, of Dire Straitsâ âThe Bugâ and Lucinda Williamsâ âPassionate Kisses.â 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.
If youâre thinking that sounds familiar, youâre not wrong; Come On Come Onâs prodigious commercial prowess isnât the only thing this record has in common with the early work of Taylor Swift. But, it also crossed over into the rock realm in a way that, arguably, Swiftâs records have not; the flourishing Americana and alt-country audiences of the early â90s ate this album up, and guest stars like Rosanne Cash, The Indigo Girls, and Shawn Colvin just upped its street cred. Somehow, this classic record has never (come on!) made it to vinyl; weâre making up for a whole lot of lost time with a grape vinyl pressing housed inside a color inner sleeve with lyrics. Essential!
