Daughter of country music legends June Carter and Carl Smith, stepdaughter of Johnny Cash, and granddaughter of "Mother" Maybelle Carter. Last time Carlene Carter came to Saratoga (2013) she was on the mainstage at SPAC singing with Willie Nelson. She returns with a tribute album to the timeless music of her historic family that is being called a triumph, a masterpiece, and the album of her life. "Carter Girl" was USA Today Album of the Week, #1 Top Folk DJ Album, and debuted in Billboard's Top 40 Country Albums. Huffington Post writes, "Carlene Carter is one of the greatest living country vocalists. Like Loretta, like Tammy, like June - like George Jones or Merle Haggard - she's got that sob in her voice... Carlene Carter's new masterpiece spans a century of music, but by implication contains the whole of human history in an unbroken circle. She -- and her elders -- have given us this gift." Famously spunky, Carter recently said, "I always say a prayer before I go onstage with my little band. We all hold hands and I say: 'Dear Lord, thank you for all the gifts that you have given us, and being able to play and sing and go out there. Now, please Lord, let us rock like hell!'"
