Come On Come On is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter, released by Columbia Records on June 30, 1992. It rose to No. 11 on the Billboard's Country Albums chart and No. 31 on the Billboard 200, with seven of its tracks reaching the Hot Country Songs chart: "I Feel Lucky" (No. 4), "Not Too Much to Ask" (a duet with Joe Diffie, No. 15), "Passionate Kisses" (a cover of the Lucinda Williams song, No. 4), "The Hard Way" (No. 11), "The Bug" (a cover of the Dire Straits song, No. 16), "He Thinks He'll Keep Her" (No. 2), and "I Take My Chances" (No. 2). "Passionate Kisses" also reached No. 57 on the Billboard Hot 100. By 2017, the album had sold 2.9 million copies. It remains Carpenter's best-selling album.
Like a lot of new country this feels indistinguishable from whatever light rock/pop. Musically solid if not particularly inventive. Some of the lyrics go interesting places though.
Its awright 3
This is some nice country radio rock. Never heard of it before - thought I recognised a song, but it was a Dire Straits cover. A few softer moments that get kinda meh, but the upbeat stuff with that nice early 90s production is fun. It'll do, you know? I couldn't imagine it getting any really high or low ratings, but it's imo the very definition of a 3/5. It sits perfectly in that groove. Sometimes I give out 3s because I don't want to shit on an album unnecessarily with a 2, or because it was bad but influential, but in this case it just simply deserves a "good job" sticker. 3/5.
