Mary Chapin Carpenter (Universal Classics)
Now, this is more like it.
Mary Chapin Carpenter has built a quietly lovely catalogue on her skill at finding a perfect singer-songwriter’s balance between sentimentality and melancholy.
The talent serves her beautifully on this low-key set, which includes three covers (including a gorgeous version of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas) but is otherwise dominated by lovely new songs such as Hot Buttered Rum and Christmas Time In The City.
A delightful little record. WILL FULFORD-JONES
