She may have kicked up her heels now and then on her six albums, but nobody would call her “Party Doll.” Still, that’s the name of if there's an unplugged album com ing from Carpenter That's something P've always wanted to do.” she says, “and definitely omething to lookat in the future. That's why I've loved to do these acoustic tours.” she says. Everything is slightly different It’s refreshing to be able to decon. truct things and put them back together in slightly different vays. One of the things that’s not never been hesitant to do. I feel like, after a certain amount of years, it's OK to try a different take on something. It is live music and thereinlies the key: to be spontaneous, to be able to do something that doesn't have to bejust like the record.” Forall of her success with five Grammys, three platinum albums and four No. 1 singles Carpenterstill had trouble coming to terms with the idea that the greatest-hits album, coming 12 years after her career started, may be considered a mid- reerretrospective. “I neverthought ofit like that,” Carpenter says, “I havethebrainof someone starting out, still strug- eling, still trying to prove myself. I haven't lost that mindset. Sometimes I'm confused by that. Why can't I take abreath? “T still feel as insecureas I did when | was starting out. Andyet I have so much to be thankful for. And the songs. The songs on these records. The process of weeding through things, finding thingsI've forgotten. It was a joyous pursuit I've been able to be a part ofa lot of cool things.” TECHNICOLOReDREAMCOAT CURIAaehens KINGSBURY HALL FAMILY ORIENTEERING DAY + 1-5 PM.
