Mary Chapin Carpenter pens tribute song to the Dixie Chicks and it kicks ass! |
|
Edited on Sat Mar-24-07 09:12 AM by La Coliniere
Her new CD "The Calling" contains the song "On with the Song"
This isn't for the ones who would gladly follow Everything their leader would have them know Bowing and kissing, while the truth goes missing Bring it on he crows, putting on his big show
This isn't for the man who can't count the bodies Can't comfort the families, can't say when he's wrong Claiming I'm the decider, like some sort of a messiah While another day passes, and a hundred souls gone
WOW
Other songs on the CD are just as profound: "Houston" is a moving account of Katrina displacement. "Why Shouldn't We' is a testament of hope for all of us.
Don't think any of these tunes will make it to country radio, they've not played any of her new stuff in years. Their loss. Anyways, thought DUers might want to know about these great new songs.

Is there anyone out there not writing anti-Bush songs these days? Hatred of Bush is so universal now.

Her songs are so evocative. "Stones in the Road" always makes me misty eyed.

17. Yes, giver her a listen! |
|
Mary Chapin isn't country. She sings "roots music," as do her sisters-in-arms, Emmylou Harris and Nanci Griffith.

20. I like the way those lyrics are |
|
PUT TOGETHER! Thank you, MCC!
I'm just now listening to The Chicks, "HOME"..the one that got burned, banned, and thrown away after Natalie made that life altering statement about being embarrassed that they were from the same state as the bushit.
"Shut Up And Sing" is one of the best docs I've seen!
