Carlene Carter – Carter Girl
Release: 7th April 2014

The idea for Carter Girl was to include material that spans many years of Carter Family songwriting in order to show the progression, and as a result, this album covers material from three generations of Carter family music, including two songs written by Carlene herself: “Me and the Wildwood Rose, “ and “Lonesome Valley 2003,” as well as old Carter family songs which have been updated/modernised with more country styling.

Don Was (Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, The Rolling Stones) both produced and played bass on the album. The album features a stellar lineup of guests including Willie Nelson on ‘Troublesome Waters,’, Kris Kristofferson on ‘Black Jack David,’, Vince Gill harmonising on ‘Lonesome Valley 2003.‘ Other guests include: Don Was, Sam Bush, Elizabeth Cook, Lori Carter Bennett and others. (Also the final track includes old vocals from Helen Carter, Anita Carter, June Carter Cash and Johnny Cash.)
