DOUG JOHNSON: Mary Chapin Carpenter has been writing and recording country-influenced music for over twenty years. Her songs tell simple but poetic stories. Her latest album, “The Age of Miracles,” is a personal exploration of sadness, love and life’s many experiences. Faith Lapidus tells us more.

FAITH LAPIDUS: That was Mary Chapin Carpenter singing “The Way I Feel.” The song is about driving by yourself at night into the unknown and feeling free.

Three years ago, Mary Chapin Carpenter suffered a life-threatening blood clot in her lungs. Afterwards, she spent the years resting and wondering what to do with her extra time. She turned to writing music. She says like many of her albums, “The Age of Miracles” gives a brief look at where she is in her life.
But not all songs on the record are about her own experiences. One song tells about American writer Ernest Hemingway’s first wife. Another, called “4 June 1989,” discusses the efforts of the Chinese artist and activist Chen Guang. Here is the song “I Was a Bird” in which she dreams about flying high in the sky.

In April, Carpenter received a “Spirit of Americana” award for free speech in music. The award is from the Americana Music Association and Newseum in Washington, D.C. It honors artists who support freedom of speech in their work.
