Free Music Notes for The Calling
Free Music Review: MCC keeps growing -- on and on
Hit: 5 Stars
I had the great pleasure of hearing MCC and John Jennings perform "Houston" a year ago at an evening of song and words featuring Ann LaMotte. It literally took my breath away, and I thought to myself "this is a true poet's response to this unimaginable human tragedy." Hearing the full arrangement on the new CD, I remember that evening's performance perfectly, but now I am struck at the deep empathy that MCC infuses this song with. To me this is the centerpiece of a magnificent project which shows that MCC continues to spin magic and beauty while riding the Bright Morning Star.Free Music Review: A river starts with a drop of rain.

I have been a fan of MCC for years, and I think the Calling is one of her most inspiring and mature works to date. The songs are positive and filled with hope. I especially liked the title track, On and On it goes, Here I am, and Why shouldn't we. And like her previous cd, she has some songs with commentary about whats going on in the world, and no one can capture the sadness and tragedy like MCC can with the song Houston which is based on what happened in New Orleans. She sings of hope, and the world keeps spinning forward, this cd will entertain, sooth and inspire.Free Music Review: Just Amazing!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have all of MCC's CD's and have seen her live three times. I must say that it just gets better and better. The Calling is a wonderful addition to her previous work. Each song feels immediately familiar, yet each time I hear them they reveal further layers of treasure.
I listen to MCC to hear her thoughts, feelings, views and experiences set to music. If you are looking for an artist to 'shut up and sing', this isn't the CD for you.
The Calling is MCC expressing herself and I don't think she is going to stop anytime soon.
Free Music Review: She's back and better than ever!

I've loved Mary Chapin Carpenter for years (at least 12). For the last 3 albums I became a bit disappointed with her work, not sure when one song ended and another began, as they all were beautiful, but same sounding ballads. This one is such a welcome change. Twilight is perhaps my favorite, though there's not a weak song on the album. To say she is anti- Christian, or anti- American is just wrong. To those who posted such reviews, I wonder what your definitions are. All that aside, I love this album, and I would encourage anyone to pick it up.Free Music Review: DON'T MISS THIS ONE!
Hit: 5 Stars
With so many of the great singer/songwriters no longer recording on the larger labels that get good promotion and advertising, it is a constant seek and find labor or love to find the many treasures that are out here. I just got this new recording by Mary Chapin Carpenter, and I am grateful for the privilege of listening to her great art, insight and entertaining music once again. If you loved "Stones In The Road" like I did, I hope you DON'T MISS THIS ONE!"
