SHOOTING STRAIGHT IN THE DARK, the follow-up to STATE OF THE HEART, proves that Mary Chapin Carpenter's successful second album was no fluke. Here Carpenter sticks with a similar stylistic template. Songs such as "Right Now" and "Down at the Twist and Shout," the Cajun-flavored hit featuring great guest work by members of Beausoleil, are done in a recognizable C&W style.
The rest of the album, however, features introspective and highly literate singer/songwriter folk ("Halley Came to Jackson" is a lovely extended metaphor about family tradition) and late-'70s Fleetwood Mac-style pop. "You Win Again" and "Middle Ground" neatly combine fat pop-chorus hooks with Carpenter's mildly feminist lyrical bent.
CD is in Like New Condition.
