{"product_id":"stones-in-the-road-2","title":"Stones in the Road","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow could this album, one of the biggest\ncrossover country smashes of the ‘90s and a\ncomplete artistic triumph, remain a vinyl wallflower\nat this late date?! Real Gone Music take this classic Mary Chapin\nCarpenter release to the dance with a special\n2-LP expanded highlighter yellow vinyl edition\nthat includes an entire bonus side featuring\na live performance from 1994, the same year\n\u003ci\u003eStones in the Road\u003c\/i\u003e was released! The accolades\nand accomplishments of this record are almost\ntoo numerous to list here: #1 on the Country\ncharts, Top 10 on the Billboard 200 Pop charts, a\n#1 Country hit with “Shut Up and Kiss Me,” other\ncharting singles like “Tender When I Want to Be,” “House of Cards,” and “Why Walk When\nYou Can Fly?”, and Grammies for Best Country Album and Best Female Country Vocal\nPerformance. But hits and awards aside, what makes this album so special is that every\nsong packs its own unique emotional punch, starting with the title tune that was first\ncovered by Joan Baez; you could also point to the transcendent “John Doe No. 24” and\nthe brilliant “End of My Pirate Days” as firsts among equals on this amazingly consistent\nand rewarding album (which Country Universe called the best Contemporary Country\nalbum of all time!). Some credit must be given to the band that producer John Jennings\nassembled, including drummer Kenny Aronoff, keyboardist Benmont Tench, guitarists Lee\nRoy Parnell and Steuart Smith, and backing vocalists Trisha Yearwood, Shawn Colvin, and\nLinda Williams. But, as always with a Mary Chapin Carpenter album, it’s the songwriting\nthat’s the real star: witty, wistful, personal, and real. With gorgeous hooks to boot! Side\nD includes the four tracks that came out on the Live at “Her Majesty’s Theatre” EP recorded\nin London, featuring a version of “Shut Up and Kiss Me,” and it all comes with two printed\ninner sleeves boasting lyrics. Released on its 30th anniversary with the full consent and\nsupport of the artist herself!\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Real Gone Music","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50448626975051,"sku":"2223742","price":46.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Stones_in_the_Road_5a1bab7b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727094171","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/stones-in-the-road-2","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
