Chanteuse Country US née Rebecca Carlene Smith, le 26
Septembre 1955 à Nashville
(Tennessee). Carlene Carter est la fille de
June Carter et de
Carl Smith et la demi soeur de
Rosanne Cash.
Carlene
Carter has always straddled the line between country and rock. Beginning her
career as a rock singer in the mid-'70s, she became immersed in the new wave in
the late '70s, before emerging as a new country singer in the late '80s,
Throughout it all, her music has always infused roots music — whether country or
rock & roll — with a nervy, edgy energy.
Carlene is the daughter of June Carter
and Carl Smith, who divorced when their
daughter was just two. June would
frequently take her daughter on Carter Family
tours, which meant that Carlene developed a musical interest at an early age.
When she was 12, her mother married Johnny
Cash. Following the marriage, Carlene and her stepsister,
Rosanne Cash, became backup singers in the
Carter/Cash touring show.
At the age of 15 she married Joe Simpkins and had a child; they were divorced
within a few years. Carter enrolled in college as a piano major in her late
teens, but she never graduated. At 19, she married Jack Routh and had another
child; they were divorced within two years.
In 1978, she decided to pursue a musical career, heading to Los Angeles where
she received a record contract with Warner Bros. Her debut album, Carlene
Carter, was a rock & roll record recorded in London with Graham Parker's
backing band, the Rumour. The following year, she released her second album,
Two Sides to Every Woman, which featured support from the Doobie Brothers.
That same year she married singer/songwriter/producer Nick Lowe, who was
currently the co-leader of the new wave rock & roll revival band, Rockpile. Lowe
helped Carter shape her musical direction in the early '80s, and her third album
— the new wave-inflected country-rock record Musical Shapes (1980) —
showed the influence of Lowe, Rockpile, and Dave Edmunds. Although the album was
critically acclaimed, it was a commercial failure. She followed Musical
Shapes in 1981 with Blue Nun, which continued to pursue a new wave-country
direction; like its predecessor, it was ignored.
During the early '80s, Carter was shut off from the country community because
she was living in England with Lowe. After Blue Nun, she stopped
recording, choosing to perform solo shows instead; she also had a starring role
in the theatrical production Pump Boys and Dinettes. Carter and Lowe's marriage
collapsed in the mid-'80s and she returned to the States, where she became part
of the touring Carter Family.
In 1989, she began working on a comeback record with Howie Epstein, the bassist
for Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. That same year, she performed a duo with
Southern Pacific on the Top 40 hit "Time's Up." Reprise signed Carter in 1990
and she released her overdue fifth album, I Fell in Love, later that year.
I Fell in Love still had rock influences, but it was a more
straightforward country record than her previous albums, and country radio paid
attention. The album became a hit and two singles, "I Fell in Love" and "Come on
Back," climbed all the way to number three. Little Love Letters, her 1993
follow-up (which was released on Giant Records), was equally successful; its
first single, "Every Little Thing," was another number three hit. Little Acts
of Treason, her 1995 album, wasn't as big a hit as its two predecessors, but
it still enjoyed moderate success on the country charts. A hits collection,
Hindsight 20/20, appeared in the fall of 1996. A variety of personal and
professional problems hit Carter at this point, and aside from a concert album,
Live in London at the Marque Club, in 2005, no new studio material appeared from
her until the reaffirming comback album Stronger in 2008.
