Mary Chapin Carpenter recorded "He Thinks He'll Keep Her" for her 1992 CD, "Come On Come On", and it was released as a single in December 1993. Not long after, CBS presented Women of Country, from whence we get this next item, as Carpenter is joined by an all-star chorus consisting of Emmylou Harris, Pam Tillis, Kathy Mattea, Trisha Yearwood (now Mrs. Garth Brooks), Patty Loveless, & Suzy Bogguss. Talk about girl power! "He Thinks He'll Keep Her" can conceivably be used today as an empowerment anthem for the #Metoo movement, don't ya think?
Personal note: One of my ex-girlfriends was a singer-songwriter of some repute here in the home district. Thing was, nearly two years after this video was shot, she decided she never considered me to be her boyfriend. Oh, we stayed friends a while longer while she left town to pursue her career goals. However, she'd burned her bridges here, as she hasn't been seen in years. Broke off contact with me at the turn of the millenium. At one point, I had a vision of her covering this song. Maybe she has, wherever she is today.
