Carlene Carter October 1, 2010

Carlene Carter has always straddled the line between country and rock. Being the daughter of the legendary June Carter Cash and Country Music Hall of Famer Carl Smith, and stepdaughter of the enduring Johnny Cash, she is heir to one of the richest musical legacies of all time. Long known as a Nashville "wild child," the young Carlene Carter embarked on a series of escapades that made her one of the most colorful characters in the country-rock pantheon. When her "party girl" era ended, Carlene returned to Nashville and joined her mother and aunts as a member of The Carter Family. Touring with the Johnny Cash Show, Carter embraced her country roots and began to make her own records again. In the 1990s, she sailed to the top of the country charts with such jaunty tunes as the GRAMMY nominated "I Fell in Love," as well as "Come on Back," and "Every Little Thing." Carter’s long-awaited current release, Stronger, represents a mature melding of her country and rock influences. Her witty personality, ready smile and country-hip manner continue to endear diverse audiences.
