Stronger (CD)

As part of country music royalty (the daughter of June Carter Cash and Carl Smith and step daughter to Johnny Cash) Carlene Carter has seen both the ups and downs of the music business and life. She's lived as the daughter of a legend and had her family chronicled in Hollywood films (Walk the Line). She's seen the dark side of fame and struggled with addiction, all the while holding onto the grace and class emboldened deep family roots. Inspired by her life experiences, Stronger is a raw but touching recollection of her life of the past few years. Years that included the wrenching sorrow of the sudden death of her stepfather, mother, sister and ex-lover. Also in that same year she experienced the euphoria of meeting and falling in love with the cowboy of her dreams. On her latest work Stronger, her family musical legacy continues. Carlene started the pre-production with her brother John Carter Cash in 2006 in anticipation of an upcoming European tour. After performing the songs live, Carlene decided she wanted to step up the songs' production and turned to her old friend and former bandmember, John McFee of Doobie Brothers and Southern Pacific fame. Her recent emotional peaks and valleys have also inspired Carlene to write all of the material (except for one co-write) on Stronger, making for her most honest, real and moving work to date.
