Party Doll and Other Favorites is the first compilation album by American singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter, released by Columbia Records on May 25, 1999.
It comprises a mix of her greatest hits, several album cuts, and newly recorded tracks, including "Almost Home", which reached No.
The collection uses live or special event recordings in place of the studio cuts in several cases, others like "I Feel Lucky" and "He Thinks He'll Keep Her" are the original album versions.
[6] The track "Can't Take Love for Granted" was taken from a live performance on Late Show with David Letterman; the song, originally a ballad appearing on her third album, Shooting Straight in the Dark, differed from the album version, in that it was performed as a rowdy, guitar-driven rock and roll performance.
The Lullaby Album,[7] "Grow Old with Me" comes from Working Class Hero: A Tribute to John Lennon, and "10,000 Miles" comes from the 1996 film Fly Away Home.
