30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Double LP!

Pressed on Highlighter Yellow Vinyl!

1995 Grammy Award Winner:
• Best Female Country Vocal Performance: "Shut Up and Kiss Me"
• Best Country Album: Stones in the Road

1995 Grammy Award Nominee:
• Best Country Song: "Shut Up and Kiss Me"

How could this album, one of the biggest crossover country smashes of the '90s and a complete artistic triumph, remain a vinyl wallflower at this late date?! Well, Real Gone Music are pleased and proud to take this classic Mary Chapin Carpenter release to the dance with a special 2-LP expanded highlighter yellow vinyl edition that includes an entire bonus side featuring a live performance from 1994, the same year Stones in the Road was released!

The accolades and accomplishments of this record are almost too numerous to list here: #1 on the Country charts, Top 10 on the Billboard 200 Pop charts, a #1 Country hit with "Shut Up and Kiss Me," other charting singles like "Tender When I Want to Be," "House of Cards," and "Why Walk When You Can Fly?", and Grammys for Best Country Album and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. But hits and awards aside, what makes this album so special is that every song packs its own unique emotional punch, starting with the title tune that was first covered by Joan Baez; you could also point to the transcendent "John Doe No. 24" and the brilliant "End of My Pirate Days" as firsts among equals on this amazingly consistent and rewarding album (which Country Universe called the best Contemporary Country album of all time!).

Some credit must be given to the band that producer John Jennings assembled, including drummer Kenny Aronoff, keyboardist Benmont Tench, guitarists Lee Roy Parnell and Steuart Smith, and backing vocalists Trisha Yearwood, Shawn Colvin, and Linda Williams. But, as always with a Mary Chapin Carpenter album, it's the songwriting that's the real star: witty, wistful, personal, and REAL. With gorgeous hooks to boot!

Side D includes the four tracks that came out on the Live at 'Her Majesty's Theatre' EP recorded in London, featuring a version of "Shut Up and Kiss Me," and it all comes with two printed inner sleeves boasting lyrics.

Released on its 30th anniversary with the full consent and support of the artist herself!
