Mary Chapin Carpenter has been one of my faves since the early 90's. Her lyrics in her songs have resonated with me in so many ways. She maybe short but she's powerful.
For years she languished in the coffee houses in and around Washington DC but then crossed over to Country Music and took with her some of the best players in the DC area.
@JetfireK - is she just famous on YouTube?? Hahaaaaaaaa.
I think she's one of the best singer/songwriters who has ever lived. This song is not a good introduction to her. Her best songs are her introspective, literate ones. Listen to her "State of the Heart" and "Shooting Straight in the Dark" albums. Both masterpieces.
Is that Lee Roy Parnell doing the "satellite" slide guitar solo? Sure sounds like him. Great song.

Unless you watched her sing this up close, I mean sitting in front of her, then you could never understand the full power of this song.
