In my opinion this is the best way to listen to this lady. One voice, one guitar, beautiful poetry. What more could you want.

“I have a need for solitude” is a song that describes me to a tee! Kindred spirits!

she plays it forward and has courage to say in her songs how she feels no matter what

From this rough-handed, well-worn, and somewhat conservative carpenter of 68, I have treasured every moment spent in the Mary Chapin Carpenter catalog of songs. Whether driving thru the mountains at night, or in a darkened room, she speaks to me and I can tell her, yes, I never knew how to say it or feel it, but that's just how I have it. There are other songwriters, other singers, but nobody can reach in like MCC.

Class is timeless. Matchless words, majestic music and a voice from Heaven. What a beautiful artist and person Mary Chapin is.

A guitar and a mic. How is it possible to communicate this much so simply?

This is pure talent folks....doesn't get any better than Chapin. A true fan knows her very best songs were never the so called radio hits.

She ALWAYS makes me cry! Good Lord! I love her voice, her songwriting, just everything. Amazing artist!

Such an amazing writer and storyteller! Her voice has aged like a fine whisky and you can hear the road in it. Brilliant!

God given talent .... Captivating. I just close my eyes and I'm right there in that story! Thank you Mary ... bless you. Thank you for being part of my life.

She's a national treasure...

She is an incredibly talented artist and such a beautiful person.

I've been in love with this lady for thirty years. Just as beautiful today as the first time I heard her.

Not just singing, but her playing is rock solid too.

We are lucky to have her. Helped me grow up. Thanks for this lovely performance.

Always Loved her voice !

Such a gifted and talented lady.

The Last Word.... is a masterpiece of hers!

Beautiful! So much charm and grace, even in jeans and hiking boots. Watch for her little curtesy to the “audience” after the final song, “Sometimes Just The Sky”.

Mary Chapin Carpenters song Edge of the World touches my soul deep about when losing my best friend and partner Joey Lemons who passed in my arms on September 23rd 2020. It was the most helpless feeling I have ever felt in my life. That song is like when she sings it I relive that moment. I wouldn't trade that total love experience for the world. I hope when its my turn to move on I have someone who's arms I can be in and look up into there beautiful eyes and soul as I leave. Thank you Mary

She is one of a kind!!!!!!!!!

I simply Love this songstress I''m grateful to be alive at the same time as her Genius... Thank you MCC.

Great.Just Great. Saw her a year ago. Great in person. Have been a fan for 30 years.

I've been a fan forever. A true artist, just great!

I just started following MCC extensively. Of course I knew her first and other top chart songs; And I am now binging on her Songs From Home. I am shocked by is truly how talented she is. Pure genius. I suspect I know her childhood as she has provided autobiography through her songs. I have never seen a better song written and the musicality of "He Thinks He'll Keep Her". That song summarizes the genius she is. I've been blown away.

Love you Mary! Love your music. God Bless

Her voice, a single guitar singing, and lyrics that always court a deep muse...ALWAYS warms my spirit.

Mary Chapin Carpenter....just the sound of her name .... her music recognizes my soul.

Incredible to think that Ms Carpenter is getting better. I'm obsessed with her newer records even more than her older ones.

It simply doesn't get better than this! Mary's soft voice and exquisite guitar playing draw me in, and I forget everything going on around me.

Great music, and the rug really ties the room together.

Mary brings beauty in so many ways - her craft is sublime. A true treasure.

He never mentioned it but that was some beautiful picking, those guitars sound as superb!!

To be able to sit here and listen to Mary Chapin up close and personal like this is such a treat! Love her new “live” album and I will continue to sing her songs and share them at the Jersey Shore. She has impacted my life (musically and otherwise...) Thank you!

She is adorably good.

I love Mary Chapin Carpenter so much!!! She is a musical genius & my greatest inspiration! This video gives me so much pleasure to see & listen to! Thank you MCC for sharing your incredible gift with the world!

Mary you do not need overdubs or technology or questions about your songs ( just let her sing ), ....your questions are answered in her songs , she is a poet with a voice made in heaven . Her songs resonate with so many of us and for me personally in such an incredible way . She has an amazing gift of translating her soul experiences into words and music. She does not even need to speak or explain , she says more in those songs . Lovely to listen to you like this , I missed you in St. Anne's Cathedral Belfast last time you were in N. Ireland , maybe next time if you come back ....Come back soon, ....but I have always your beautifully crafted songs of life , wonderful Mary. Thank you .

The BEST Voice !!! FIVE Chapin living room , all alone w/ dog concerts , done under:""Shelter In Place,"

After so many years, this is the first time I really concentrated on her out of the endless cacaphony, and .... my God, what I've missed. She's brilliant in every way.

Wow just beautiful. We just love your music and your voice. Thank you.

A TRUE NATIONAL TREASURE ... THE RAREST OF JEWELS ... Shining More Beautiful Brighter & With More Presence Than EVER Before ... The Deepest View Into The Heart Of a True GIFT FROM GOD ... THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU Mary .. We So Appreciate & Love You!! .. ( Like a Fine Wine .. Surprisingly Better & Better Even Though You Think it Can't .. Leave it To Our Mary .. Love Peace Grace Angles Too 😃 )

Wow.. such depth and talent...she's the real deal.

Beautiful. Songs from the heart😊

My fav female singer, been a fan of hers for many, many years. First saw Mary live at the Reading Hexagon Theatre UK and a few years later at the Chiswick Theatre, London. Have all her records. Such an honest singer and songwriter.

Been a watchin and a listenin to MCCarpenter since the very early days. She may be playing solo as she is here or in a five+ piece ensemble but the quality in guitar and voice is always...there. However what continues to amaze me most is how she continues to produce such meaningful song titles and the artistic lyrics to support them for well over thirty years now. Onward Mary Chapin Carpenter...Onward for us all !

We always enjoy back stories surrounding songs. Have all the records but for the one no longer available, "time*sex*love". MCC'S remake of "Heroes and Heroines" acoustically and solo is beautiful.

I've loved Mary since the beginning. My musical inspiration.

Bravo! Simply beautiful and so moving! Always love your voice Mary. ♥️

She's such a joy. I love her! She's who I fantisize to be in my next life. :)

Have enjoyed her music since "How Do" in 1989, which now seems ages ago. All one needs is a guitar, a bunch of talent and a strong intelligence. Chapin has all three, and so much more. In love; always will be. She's someone you'd sure like to have beside you.

I am not ,and never been a country music fan, but I love Mary Chapin Carpenter. Her voice and lyrics just take me to a beautiful place. First heard her sing Haley's Comet song, and I knew she would be a part of my love of music. Brings me back to happier times in my life. Things are not so easy now and I struggle every day, but she takes me to melancholy, but happy places. Thank you, MCC.

This is such a powerful performance! I play it over and over. The thing about MCC , I can understand every word she says. Rock on lady!

God this woman is such a gift!!! I just love her!

Awesome!❤❤❤

Beautiful, just beautiful. Her music is so thought-provoking. She is amazing and I hope she never stops singing or writing. Thank you for this video.

Chapin is absolutely my number one favorite and I love this album. Thank you for your music and I can listen to you all day.

Always my favorite female artist. I have all her music and listen over and over but love these unplugged versions as well as her songs from home during the pandemic. Never get tired of MCC and the message she shares with us. Thanks Mary.

Story writer in her songs. Mary's stories resonate and educate and make you think, yeah I've experienced that too. Mary joins the pantheon of great writers and singers.

Hard to believe, her voice is even richer than when she started out. That last song she played -- knocked me on my ass. Keep up the great songwriting, MCC (though you don't have anything to prove).

Sometimes just the sky♥️ So true♥️

Paste offers artists an amazing showcase. I love the interviews as well as the music.

I just love this lady and her music. Thank you

Love Mary Chapin Carpenter ! her voice and her song are so amazing.

"I hold out my open hands despite my empty arms..." Well, that just saved me $250 dollars an hour! 😉 Seriously though, Ms. Carpenter has a way to encapsulate so much "depth of meaning" with just a few simple words. We are all fortunate to be graced by & with her poetry through song. Love & Light to you all out there in KZfaq Land and BeYoNd ! 😉 💜 🍀 👻 🎶

Love this album..

OMG No MakeUp and still as beautiful as ever! ... and I've been to the Twist and Shout! ... Lived in Md back then. Went to school in St. Mary's County! Always loved her ... and her music!

As good as it gets!!!!!!

Truly an American treasure. She will be performing here in Clearwater, FL with Shawn Colvin in the very near future. I can't wait.

I have two heros named Mary. The first on was my boss in 1969 as she owned the guitar studio where I taught,with her son Doug. Much later I discovered she is the second oldest rosie riviter at 101! Mary Torres Called me last year and sang God Bless America in amost perfect pitch age 100. Second hero is my current boss Mary, an 80 yr old PHD psychologist. Ok one more..a Mary in santa rosa running forgotten felines where they have altered over 40 thousand ferals Marys are super humans eh? this one always makes me cry. Shes getting better every day and I hope shes singing at 100 too.

I Love Mary like her wonderful music time has magical made the even more beautiful meaningful. What a amazing gift she is to the World. Lucky and loving it

I'm late to this particular party, but not too late, thank heaven! Beautifully done. ❤

A true artist.

A truly magical performer and song-writer. And guitar-player!

Purely wonderful, thank you MCC for this performance. Your words always touch me especially lately where I lost my younger sister to pancreatic cancer and myself battling a neurodegenerative disease that has temporarily diagnosed as Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. As you say sometimes just the sky though is all one needs to keep going on and enjoying the simple wonders of living. Again, thank you so much.

Still Mary Chapin! Thank God🙏🏻

Excellent as always! I hope you had a happy Life Mary.You touched me all mine.

Very enjoyable. A fine example of great and professional musicianship!

Just bought the album. Little late, I know, but I have just become a fan. I really enjoyed the video too.

love you Mary!

what a brilliant interview and of course the wonderful songs from Mary .

I adore this woman...

A perfect voice. Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice - your words.

Great writer,singer,guitarist,a real role model,Colvin was her backup singer! Take notice,you young stars,Maren M,and Kacey M. She is the real deal, listen to this!! Wonderful Patti quote.

I took a C.D. of Mary Chapin Carpenter to the hospital back in the 90s leaving the jewel case at home . When I returned I could not find the C.D. Hope whoever found it is a fan of her music today.Still have the jewel case .

Ah wow, Mary Chapin Carpenter I have missed your voice. And your style. I hope you are back on KZfaq. That's my only out reach.

Love all your music ! ❤️❤️ Magic Voice !!! Thank you for being you !❤️❤️❤️❤️
