Summary: <p>Singer, songwriter and guitarist Mary Chapin Carpenter re-imagined and rearranged songs from her 30-year catalog, along with the brand-new title track, for her most recent record, <em>Sometimes Just the Sky</em>. That title comes from a speech given by Patti Smith, where she "touched on both hard and beautiful aspects of life." The country music prize-winning Carpenter, who is now based deep in the Virginia countryside has spent her musical career “exploring depths of language and emotion,” using “compelling chordal voicings and finger-picking that produces unique sounds.” (Peter Cooper, Artist Notes<em>) </em>Mary Chapin Carpenter joins us to perform a few of these songs in-studio.</p> <p>Watch the session live below:</p> <p><em> </em></p>
