With hindsight, it's not hard to figure out why Mary Chapin Carpenter's sophomore effort was her commercial breakthrough. Though ostensibly a country album, STATE OF THE HEART covers a wide range of stylistic bases.
"This Shirt" and "Something of a Dreamer" are unabashed singer-songwriter folk tunes--pretty exquisite ones, at that. "Never Had it So Good" and "Quittin' Time" are anthemic folk-rock concoctions not far removed from late-'70s Fleetwood Mac. STATE OF THE HEART could have degenerated into terminal slickness, but Carpenter is a genuinely gifted lyricist capable of wit, realism, and eloquence. Her collaborator, guitarist John Jennings, provides an ideal instrumental backdrop for these musings about love and loss.
