Party Doll and Other Favorites is the title of American country music singer Mary Chapin Carpenter's first compilation album. It was released in 1999 on the Columbia Records label and comprises a mix of her greatest hits, several album cuts, and newly recorded tracks. The collection is notable for using 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. Of the new material, "Almost Home" and "Wherever You Are" were both released as singles, respectively reaching #22 and #55 on the Billboard country charts in 1999.[4]
