Cowboy Carter

„Carter Girl“, is the first album of new recordings this decade from Americana legend Carlene Carter. The album was produced by Don Was, mixed by Bob Clearmountain and is, in a very literal way, Carlene's personal homage to her Carter Family roots and to the the ethos that has been the foundation of much of America's music for almost 90 years.

Possessing a voice at once adept at soul, rock, pop, and folk, Valerie Carter had a successful career as a solo artist and in-demand backup singer. Beginning her career singing in coffee houses as a teenager, she eventually became one-third of the short-lived country-folk band Howdy Moon. Though they debuted at the legendary Troubadour in Los Angeles in 1974, their one album became fairly obscure. It is notable, however, for the Carter-penned song "Cook with Honey," later a minor hit for Judy Collins, and for the introduction of Carter to Lowell George, who produced the album. A mentor to her until his death in 1979, George introduced Carter to Jackson Browne, James Taylor, and many other artists she would work with throughout her career. Her first solo album, Just a Stone's Throw Away, featured an impressive array of guest artists from the 1970s Southern California music scene.

Gene Autry was the first of the Singing Cowboys, renowned as a pioneering figure in country music for his performances of country-flavoured songs in the western movies of the 1930s and ‘40s in which he starred. He wrote, co-wrote and performed many of the best-known songs associated with the particular style of easy-going cowboy country that evolved in parallel to the likes of Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family. He was also particularly famous for his introducing some of the best-known Christmas songs, which were also among his biggest hits in the latter era of his chart career.
