Carlene Carter

Born on this date (September 26) in 1955 to Grand Ole Opry sweethearts Carl Smith and June Carter of country music's first family, it wasn't long before Carlene Carter made her own name with her self-titled debut album in 1978.  Her 1990 album and single I Fell In Love earned her even more fans and a Grammy nomination.  Recent albums include Carter Girl (her acclaimed tribute to her family), Sad Clowns & Hillbillies with John Mellencamp, and The Carter Family Across Generations.

Friends Friends Friends! 

Yes it is my Birthday Month! 

And I would imagine my 65th wouldn’t be happening without the care and support that MusiCares provided me with in my recovery! 

At this point in time when so many of my peers and musicians are scratching to keep the lights on and survive this terrible pandemic we’ve gotta give a little and take care of each other.

These folks are good and know where and how to put donations to use! 

So please y’all! 

Share this post and if ya can send a little love towards the goal.

I love y’all and everybody stay safe.

Wear your masks.

Wash your hands.

Let’s take care of each other best we can.

We got music to make and lives worth living!

Back in 1993 I hosted Nashville Now and my guest was John Prine! 
He was unavailable so we pre-recorded his answers to my questions! 
See what happens when I have no cue cards to go with his answers!! 
Such a great man and always ready for about anything:-)

My Momma passed away on this day 17 years ago... it still feels like it isn’t real in some ways! 
I tend to have a running conversation it’s her in my head, and sometimes out loud! 
Mommie I love you always, you are the best person I have ever known.
We all miss you! Xoxo

Carlene and the guys (Al Hill and Chris Casello) had a great time at their recent shows in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, and Carlene wrote: "Let everyone know we are home from the tour safe and sound." Carlene was gone when the tornado hit Nashville, but she was fortunate that her home and loved ones were unharmed, and added: "I have nothing scheduled at the moment until Norsk Countrytreff in Norway July 11. Working on some new music!!!" Seen here at Crater Lake National Park in Oregon: Al, Carlene, Chris.

Well I’ll be!!! It’s the most unexpected honor! Dang! Thank you Madison. xoxox CC
