About This Release
Singer and songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter is emboldened on the follow-up to her debut album. She changes the pace with the rollicking "Too Tired," too defeated by love to even attempt to resist it. Tearjerker "Goodbye Again" depicts a woman alone. Chapin Carpenter has seen what love can do, and she depicts it unflinchingly.
