I ordered the CD, almost played it to pieces, called local county stations and URGED them to play this future SUPERSTAR. They utterly ignored me. Vindication proved sweet.

    You wonder why songs like this that are brilliantly written and performed do not reach that number one slot on the charts. She is one of the best! I met her in the early 1990's on Capitol Hill. She was so friendly and talked to me like I was her best friend! Very nice! I don't listen to country music that often, but certain songs like this you just can't help but listen to!

I'm an old 60's/70's guy who hung around long enough to enjoy a little 'moon-walking' and a 1985 piece called 'We Are The World'...then got away for a while, particularly from the rock-ish stuff. thanks for the re entry ACL!

    There's not a single song MCC has written that I don't like. She pours her heart and soul into every single one of them. My only regret is that for the last 20+ years, I've been so busy working and raising children that I lost track of her. Trying to make up for lost time quickly. Love her and her music!

    MCC is so wonderful and I think under rated in country circles.

    ACC's #98 song of the '89 survey year. Mary-Chapin hit #8 in Billboard, 11-25-89. Merry Christmas, everybody!
