Mary Chapin Carpenter - Shooting Straight In The Dark

Mary Chapin Carpenter's third album Shooting Straight In The Dark perfected her mix of singer-songwriter introspection, storytelling, and the occasional up-tempo mood changer.

The album resulted in a huge country radio hit in the shape of a cajun romp Down at the Twist and Shout, but the most memorable track is Going Out Tonight, a gutsy, folk-rocking statement of purpose from a brokenhearted woman who's gonna start living again even if it kills her.
