Review

"Come On Come On" by Mary Chapin Carpenter is a real gem of an album that landed in the early '90s and effortlessly merges country with touches of rock, pop, and folk. The perfectly crafted twelve-track masterpiece rose through the charts, revealing the depth of Carpenter's songwriting and her heartfelt voice. It wasn't just about the numbers for this album; it was its seven chart-topping singles like "I Feel Lucky" and the empowering "Passionate Kisses" that resonated with so many, striking a chord with empowering messages and capturing a broad audience.

Behind the scenes, Mary Chapin Carpenter and John Jennings nailed the production, giving us arrangements that accentuate the lyrics and melodies without overwhelming them. From the toe-tapping vibes of "I Feel Lucky" to the tender ballad "Only a Dream," the album dances through different tempos and tones. It wraps up feelings of nostalgia, drawing out memories of warm, carefree '90s summer nights. The strength of "Come On Come On" lies in its ability to tie all its songs into a narrative that feels as relevant today as it did when it first came out, proving that some things really do get better with time. - Courtney
