A special 2-LP expanded highlighter-yellow vinyl edition that includes an entire bonus side featuring a live performance from 1994, the same year Stones in the Road was released.
Recorded at Bias Studio in Northern Virginia--the record's laurels are almost too numerous to list here: #1 on the Country charts, Top 10 on the Billboard 200 Pop charts, a #1 Country hit with “Shut Up and Kiss Me,” other charting singles like “Tender When I Want to Be,” “House of Cards,” and “Why Walk When You Can Fly?”, and Grammies for Best Country Album and Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
Some credit must be given to the band that producer John Jennings assembled, including drummer Kenny Aronoff, keyboardist Benmont Tench, guitarists Lee Roy Parnell and Steuart Smith, and backing vocalists Trisha Yearwood, Shawn Colvin, and Linda Williams. But, as always with a Mary Chapin Carpenter album, it’s the songwriting that’s the real star: witty, wistful, personal, and real.
Side D includes the four tracks that came out on the Live at “Her Majesty’s Theatre” EP recorded in London, featuring a version of “Shut Up and Kiss Me,” and it all comes with two printed inner sleeves bearing the lyrics.
