That Nashville Sound wishes one of our favorite artists, Mary Chapin Carpenter, a very happy 51st birthday.Carpenter's most successful album to date remains 1992's Come On Come On, which yielded seven charting country singles and was certified quadruple platinum in the U.S. for sales exceeding four million copies. She followed it with Stones in the Road (1994) and A Place in the World (1996), which both featured hit singles. In the 2000s, Carpenter's albums departed both thematically and musically from her early work, becoming less radio-friendly and more focused on societal and political issues. Her most recent, and most topical album to date, The Calling, was released in March 2007.
Carpenter has won five Grammy Awards, and is the only artist to have won four consecutive Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance, which she received from 1992 to 1995.
Celebrate her big day with a quick watch of one of her less-celebrated but brilliant singles (and one of my wife's very favorite songs), This Shirt...
