Summary: Cool Carpenter Collection 2007-06-11
Comment: Good compilation of MCC songs. Probably 5 stars if you're a fan. MCC sings songs about life, the small details and the big events, and does it with real feeling and insight. Good tunes:
Shut Up and Kiss Me - very good, kinda rocks, kinda arousing forward attitude from a woman to a man
I Take My Chances - great lyrics, ranging from amusing to ironic. Nice line on televangelism: "he'd show me the way to the Lord in return for my personal check. So I flipped the channel and lit another cigarette."
I Feel Lucky - a good, fun, kinda catty song. The singer being fought over by Dwight Yoakum and Lyle Lovett is a good image.
Quittin Time - VEry good, a moving song about a love that's dying but the lovers just aren't sure how to finally wrap it up.
Down at the Twist and Shout - kind of homage to Cajun culture. A festive number about letting loose at a bayou bash.
Hard Way - very good, it's moving and gritty. Singer and lover have fought for what they have; stuff wasn't just handed to them.

Comment: I often listen to this CD which never fails to make me smile. Carpenter's talent and humor shimmer throughout, and "Ten Thousand Miles" captivates me each time I listen to it.
Highest recommendations!!
