Come On Come On isn’t just Mary Chapin
Carpenter’s most popular album, with sales
of 3 million copies. It’s also a contemporary
country landmark. No less than seven of its
songs became country hits: “I Feel Lucky,”
“I Take My Chances,” “Not Too Much to Ask,”
“The Hard Way,” “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her,”
and two inspired covers, of Dire Straits’ “The
Bug” and Lucinda Williams’ “Passionate
Kisses.” 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 you’re thinking that sounds familiar, you’re not
wrong; Come On Come On’s prodigious commercial prowess
isn’t 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, Swift’s records have not; the flourishing
Americana and alt-country audiences of the early '90s 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;
we’re making up for a whole lot of lost time with a grape vinyl pressing housed inside a color
inner sleeve with lyrics. Essential!
