Archive material and source history
Carlene Carter grew up in Nashville as the daughter of June Carter Cash and Carl Smith. She released her first album in 1979, but it was her second record, 'Musical Shapes,' that brought wider attention. That album included 'Foggy Mountain Top,' which became one of her best-known songs.
Her music often dealt with straightforward themes of love and heartache, as heard in tracks like 'Break My Little Heart In Two' and 'Heart Is Right.' She worked with Dave Edmunds on the duet 'Baby Ride Easy,' and recorded other albums like 'Blue Nun' and 'Little Acts of Treason' in the years that followed.
Carter's career had its difficult stretches, including some public struggles, but she kept recording. She put out 'Carter Girl' in 2014, returning to songs connected to her family's musical history.
