Mundell Music Gigs and Live Music Events
Tuesday 09 March 2010 - FIFESTOCK - Carlene Carter
As the daughter of legendary and beloved June Carter Cash and Country Music Hall of Famer Carl Smith, Carlene is heir to one of the richest musical legacies of all time. Carlene's grandmother, Maybelle Carter, helped to lay the foundation for American country music through pioneering recordings in the late 1920s with the original Carter Family (Maybelle, her cousin Sara, and Sara's husband A.P. Carter). Maybelle also introduced to the world a revolutionary guitar style known as "the Carter Scratch" (making the guitar a lead instrument by playing rhythm and melody at the same time).
In the 1940s, Maybelle branched off with the second generation of her musical family tree, as she and her daughters Helen, June, and Anita performed as Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters. June's marriage in the 1960s to country music icon Johnny Cash helped to keep the Carter Family on the road, and in the hearts of music fans around the world. But it was June's daughter Carlene who took the Carter sound and name in another direction, to yet another generation, as she mixed the traditional music of her heritage with the current rock & roll of the late 1970s. Carlene's biggest success came with her Grammy-nominated country hit "I Fell In Love" album and single in 1990, and the innovative "Every Little Thing" video and single from her "Little Love Letters" CD in 1993.
