Carlene Carter - Carter Girl

The first album of new recordings this decade from Americana legend Carlene Carter. Produced by Don Was, CARTER GIRL is, in a very literal way, Carlene's personal homage to the Carter Family legacy that both underpins so much of America's music and is part of her own DNA. Carlene is the daughter of June Carter Cash and Carl Smith. She is the stepdaughter of Country/Americana music legend Johnny Cash. CARTER GIRL revisits both classic Carter Family repertoire as well as original songs that reflect Carlene's direct connection to her roots. Musicians on the sessions included Jim Keltner, Rami Jaffee, Greg Leisz, Sam Bush, Mickey Rafael, Blake Mills as well as Don Was on bass. The album features a stellar lineup of guests including Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Vince Gill, Don Was, Sam Bush, Elizabeth Cook, Lori Carter Bennett and others. The final track includes old vocals from Helen Carter, Anita Carter, June Carter Cash and Johnny Cash.
