holy crap, chapin is back and better than ever!!
by mtinny on 6/27/10The Concert Hall - New YorkAs the NYTimes would say,{ Ms.} Carpenter performed last night at a small venue, that could have supported at least ten times more of her fans. After seeing her at both larger and smaller venues, she performs with a brilliance that only she can obtain. With songs mingled from her newest album, The Age of Miracles, her last foray into the folk/country stream, The Calling, and back to her "pop/country" days of crossover hits, that won her five Grammy"s, Ms. Carpenter has leapt back to health and voice and unbridled exuberance. With her band, many whom have been with her for years, Hello Mr. Jennings and Mr. Carol, and the "newer" additions, they performed with confidence and expertise. Entering and exiting the stage to let the star of the night shine! What more could anyone want of a night with the talented, comedic and overly blessed Mary Chapin Carpenter. I, too, have a calling and a need for solitude and you are mine! Thanks a lot, Chapin! xoxo Marc
