Album Description

User Album Review
We are reaching the point where many of our favorite artists are pausing to reflect, as if to ask whether they would record their beloved songs the same way again. We’ve seen this with artists who have re-recorded entire albums (i.e. Lucinda Williams) or taken their greatest hits into a live format with new bands (i.e. Steve Winwood). With Sometimes Just the Sky Mary Chapin Carpenter takes a different spin on reflection. She’s re-recorded one song from each of her twelve studio albums and added one new one, all with a new band and some different arrangements.
The album was recorded entirely live at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios outside Bath, England in the rural countryside. Carpenter was joined by long-time sideman, string man extraordinaire Duke Levine and Ethan Johns’ Black Eyed Dogs, a hand-picked group that add percussion, an array of keyboards, additional guitars and violin/viola. In some cases, songs are radically redone with “Jericho” (from Ashes to Roses) being the best example. The evocative “This Is Love” (from Stones in the Road) is replete with crescendos and dynamic changes. “This Shirt” (from the breakthrough State of the Heart) is a great example of Carpenter’s gift for lyric detail, making the most ordinary object hold emotion and meaning. Here it’s done with a subtle percussion and gorgeous violin passages. In fact, the treatment for most the material, excepting the shuffling “Naked to The Eye” can be described as classy, lush, and graceful as the instruments blend together seamlessly. Suggest that you find a quiet time for intense listening.
