Songs I'd Forgotten Existed (Let Alone Loved): Special "If I Was a Carpenter and You Were a....Oh, Wait!!!" Edition

And speaking as were yestrday about folk-rocker/country star Mary Chapin Carpenter, from 1990 please enjoy her powerful and insinuating "Quittin' Time."

That was a strictly country radio hit, i.e., it didn't get any pop/rock crossover to my knowledge, and I'm somewhat perplexed about how it showed up on my bingo card. If I had to guess, I suspect I got hepped to it by my colleague/friend Alanna Nash, who was Stereo Review's country music maven/reviewer for most of my tenure over there.

In any case, a terrific song/record; if the production was just a tad tougher sounding, I would go so far as to say Fleetwood Mac-or-Petty and the Heartbreakers terrific.
