Mary Chapin Carpenter Writes a Song for Thanksgiving, Too
Mary Chapin Carpenter has released her first Christmas album this year, but she also felt compelled to write something poetic about that other holiday - Thanksgiving. She says that as she was writing it, she was trying to address the subject of gratitude, and that "Thanksgiving Song" is part of the same spiritual song cycle as the rest of Come Darkness, Come Light. Along with writing several new songs for the album, she also dug up a few lesser-known tunes without dragging out all ye olde chestnuts. As a result, the album is unexpectedly subdued, beautifully understated and makes for a warm companion during the winter holidays.

MCC is a musical genius. Although I haven’t heard Come Darkness, Come Light yet, her CD’s “Between Here and Gone” from 2004, and “The Calling” from 2007 are Masterpieces. Brilliant.
