Query: So disappointing

Mary Chapin Carpenter's new album "Between Here and Gone" should more aptly be entitled "Between Dull and Boring." Having been an ardent follower of Carpenter's music for over a decade, I was disappointed to find that her usual mix of energy, wit, and insight had been replaced by wondering, flat melodies and angst-ridden ramblings. Except for maybe one or two tracks that are mildly enticing, the whole album plays like one extremely long, drawn out song that you hope will pick up but never does. All of the songs on this new album were penned exclusively by Carpenter, which could explain the monotony and highlights the fact that some artists may need collaborators to reach their full creative potential. Whatever the case, this latest effort falls way short of any of her previous work. Let's hope it is just a fluke, and that Mary gets on a good antidepressant and back to making the kind of music we've come to love and expect from her.
