Although many of these performers never achieved commercial success, Carpenter was able to channel her anti-Nashville approach into chart success and industry awards by the early 90s.Carpenter was born and raised in Princeton, NJ, the daughter of a Life magazine executive; she spent two years of her childhood in Japan, where her father was launching the Asian edition of Life. During the folk explosion of the early 60s, her mother had begun to play guitar. When Mary became interested in music as a child, her mother gave her a guitar. Carpenter played music during her high-school years, but she didnt actively pursue it as a career. In 1974, her family moved to Washington, D.C., where she became involved in the citys folk music scene. After graduating from high school in the mid-70s, she spent a year traveling Europe; when she was finished, she enrolled at Brown University, where she was an American civilization major.Following her college graduation, she became deeply involved in the Washington-area folk scene, performing a mixture of originals, contemporary singer/songwriter material, and pop covers. Carpenter met guitarist John Jennings during the early 80s and the pair began performing together. Eventually, they made a demo tape of their songs, which they sold at their concerts. The tape wound up at Columbia Records, which offered Carpenter an audition. By early 1987, the label had signed her as a recording artist. Her first album, Hometown Girl, was released that year.Hometown Girl and its follow-up, State of the Heart (1989), earned her a dedicated cult following, as well as two Top Ten singles, Never Had It So Good and Quittin Time. Country radio was hesitant to play her soft, folky, feminist material, but she received good reviews and airplay on more progressive country stations, as well as college radio. Shooting Straight in the Dark, released in 1990, managed to break down a lot of the barriers that stood in her way. Down at the Twist and Shout became a number two single and the album sold well, setting the stage for her breakthrough album, 1992s Come on Come On.Come on Come On signaled a slight change in direction for Carpenter — although there were still folk songs, she felt freer to loosen up on honky tonk and country-rock songs, which resulted in several hit singles. Two of the singles from the album — I Feel Lucky and Passionate Kisses — hit number four, and He Thinks Hell Keep Her became her first number one. Come on Come On would eventually sell over two million copies. Her fifth album, Stones in the Road, released in 1994, concentrated on the folkier material, but it was still a major success, selling over a million copies within its first six months of release. Place in the World was released in October 1996, and Time* Sex* Love* followed in spring 2001. Carpenters tenth album, 2004s Between Here and Gone was produced with pianist Matt Rollings. The Calling was issued in 2007 by Zoe Records.
