Carlene Carter Rocks! 

Back in the day...I guess it was 1990.  I was watching Ralph Emery's show on CMT (which at that time was a country music station.)  Ralph introduced this little ball of fire and I realized this was Carl and June's daughter. "I Fell in Love" was the song she was singing. I though, man, this girl rocks.  So, as I usually do in the rare case someone's music interest me, I did some research, I got all the LP's I could locate and educated myself on the music and life of Carlene Carter.  I saw several of her live shows in different parts of the country.

I find Carlene's writing very good to my ears and my emotions. She writes mostly from experience. Her creative word play in her music is really good. While researching her music I discovered a rare gem of a song on one of her albums. The song "Too Proud" it got my attention easily and the lyrics are some of the best I have ever heard in a song.  My only objection to this track is the guitar (which I like a lot) over powers her vocals making it difficult to understand her lyrics. I discussed this with her and it was a funny conversation as only CC can do it.

"If this girl does not move your soul; You don't have one."
 I added a few links for you to listen to more CC if you wish. I think she ROCKS!  I have linked some of my favorite tunes by her. Here is "Change" from the "Little Acts of Treason" CD.

Thanks for the music Carlene.
