Personal History (CD)

Mary-Chapin Carpenter / PERSONAL HISTORY – I started writing the songs on this album as the pandemic began winding down; the titular song “”What Did You Miss”” pointed the way forward, with it’s final verse: “”I’ve been writing it down/song by song/as a personal history”” when imagining this collection of songs as memoir, and how the wisdom that comes with growing older becomes a north star, whether one is celebrating life’s joys or navigating life’s inevitable losses.
