Heard the song "It Must Be Happening" on the radio (www.wyep.org) a couple of nights ago from the upcoming MCC CD.

Very good, classic Chapin.

I've been waiting for a new Chapin album for some time :)

"Mary Chapin Signs to Zoë/Rounder Records
New Studio Album, The Calling, Slated for March 2007 Release
Mary Chapin Carpenter has signed a worldwide recording contract with Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Rounder Records. A new studio album entitled The Calling will be released on the label’s rock/pop imprint Zoë Records in March, 2007.
The album was recorded and co-produced with keyboard virtuoso Matt Rollings (Lyle Lovett, Keith Urban), with whom Carpenter co-produced her critically-acclaimed previous album, Between Here & Gone. The Calling will feature all new original songs.

Over the course of a celebrated 10-album career to date, Mary Chapin Carpenter has won five Grammy® awards and sold well over 12 million albums. The Boston Globe recently said, “slowly but surely, Mary Chapin Carpenter has built a repertoire that ranks with the best of her generation.” That repertoire includes twelve top ten singles, including “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her,” which was nominated for a Record of the Year Grammy®. Between Here & Gone received considerable critical praise.

Carpenter has achieved the same success as a live performer, having toured nationally and internationally for nearly two decades and won two Pollstar Country Tour of the Year awards. She will tour the U.S. in 2007; an itinerary will be announced soon."

My favorite Mary Chapin Carpenter song is 'The Shelter of Storms.' I look forward to buying her new album.
