Stones in the Road is the fifth album by Mary Chapin Carpenter, and her first and only #1 Country Album on the Billboard charts. The album also contains her first and only #1 Hot Country Singles hit, "Shut Up and Kiss Me." Other charting singles were "Tender When I Want to Be" at #6, "House of Cards" at #21, and "Why Walk When You Can Fly?" at #45. The nostalgicly themed title track was first recorded by folk legend Joan Baez in 1992 (to whom Carpenter first pitched the song during a joint concert appearance) before she recorded it herself.
