Genre: Country

Come On Come On isn’t just Mary Chapin Carpenter’s most popular album, with sales 
of 3 million copies. It’s also a contemporary country landmark. No less than seven of its 
songs became country hits: “I Feel Lucky,” “I Take My Chances,” “Not Too Much to Ask,” 
“The Hard Way,” “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her,” and two inspired covers, of Dire Straits’ “The 
Bug” and Lucinda Williams’ “Passionate Kisses.” More importantly, though, this 1992 release pointed the way towards what country music would become in the 21st century with its savvy seasoning of pop and soft-rock sounds into a more personal style of country songwriting from a female point of view. If you’re thinking that sounds familiar, you’re not wrong; Come On Come On’s prodigious commercial prowess isn’t the only thing this record has in common with the early work of Taylor Swift. But, it also crossed over into the rock realm in a way that, arguably, Swift’s records have not; the flourishing 
Americana and alt-country audiences of the early ‘90s ate this album up, and guest stars like Rosanne Cash, The Indigo Girls, and Shawn Colvin just upped its street cred. Somehow, this classic record has never (come on!) made it to vinyl; we’re making up for a whole lot of lost time with a grape vinyl pressing housed inside a color inner sleeve with lyrics. Essential!
