Mark O'Connor is playing the violin.

Some songs you hear or listen to...others you FEEL, SMELL and TASTE. The incomparable Mary Chapin Carpenter makes I Am A Town one of those songs.  Its beauty simply has no rival. Pure magic.

One of the top 10 songs EVER written. She makes the imagery come alive, in every sense.  Chapin, Please tour some more and put out more records! The music world sorely needs your talent!

This is my favorite MCC song ever! I've been listening to her since I was about 10, when I bought her CD after hearing her on the radio. Now, at 26, I'm FINALLY going to get to see her live in August with Shawn Colvin!!!! I pray and hope I can meet her somehow. Wish me luck!

I have never heard this one before but I really like it. Thank you for this video.

Mark O'Conner = Mary Chapin Carpenter AND Dixie Dreggs.

If "Carolina" was "California", this song would exactly be about Fresno, my life and the people in it. She was my major influence in song writing and guitar playing. I have not found any like her. She is moving.Peaches in September reminds me of the wonderful fruit my dad brought home every summer. I love him.

To me, this is Mary's best song. My developmentally disabled daughter and I have been listening to this for so many years it seems, and we love just as much now as when we first heard it.

One of my favorites....a song that puts the imagination into a moment of deep inner thoughts and imaginations. Saw her and John do this live acoustic at the outdoor Ravinia Festival in Chicago many years ago...with one of her golden retriever pups laying peacfully next to her.

Oh God, I saw her live when I was 7 years old, I want to say. I knew every word to this song. All the adults found that hilarious.

It was a good show. This is a good song.

LOVE LOVE LOVE FOR THIS SONG AND THIS ARTIST. I grew up with her music.

She's a national treasure from the nation's capital! (That's for all of those who think NOTHING good ever comes out of Washington, DC.)
