Timeline

1955

Carlene Carter (born Rebecca Carlene Smith; September 26, 1955) is an American country music singer and songwriter.

She is the daughter of June Carter Cash and her first husband, Carl Smith.

1970

Her solo recording career began in the late 1970s with her eponymous debut album.

1974

Carlene Carter's earliest released solo recording was "Friendly Gates", a track included on her stepfather Johnny Cash's 1974 album The Junkie and the Juicehead Minus Me, and credited under the name Carlene Routh.

1977

Originally recorded in 1977 with a full string backing group, it was lost in a tape collection in Hendersonville, Tennessee, and then recovered in 2003.

It then was remastered by her half-brother John Carter Cash.

In the remastered version, John added his wife Laura (Carlene's sister-in-law) and his backing vocals and a guest appearance from Carlene herself—more than 25 years after she wrote and first recorded the song.

1978

Carter co-wrote a song with Guy Clark's wife, Susanna Clark, for Emmylou Harris on her 1978 Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town album, "Easy From Now On".

1979

In 1979, during a concert at New York City's The Bottom Line, she introduced a song about mate-swapping called "Swap-Meat Rag", from her album Two Sides to Every Woman, by stating, "Well, if that don't put the 'cunt' back in country, I don't know what does."

Johnny Cash and June Carter were in the audience, unbeknownst to Carlene.

1983

In 1983, she had a top-40 hit "I Couldn't Say No", a duet with Robert Ellis Orrall.

1987

In 1987, Carter joined with the singing trio The Carter Sisters, consisting of her mother June Carter Cash and June's sisters Helen and Anita Carter.

Together, they formed a revived version of The Carter Family, and were featured on a 1987 television episode of Austin City Limits along with Johnny Cash.

1988

Following a lengthy stint living in the UK and in the run-up to her divorce from English singer-songwriter Nick Lowe, Carter had returned to the U.S., where in 1988 she met musician Howie Epstein, bassist in Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers.

Epstein helped Carter get her career back on track, producing I Fell in Love and co-authoring its title track with longtime collaborator, Milwaukee writer Perry M. Lamek.

1990

Carter revived her solo career with the album I Fell in Love, in 1990.

The album and title song topped the US country albums and singles charts, respectively.

The album, which featured straight-ahead, retro-sounding country (unlike her prior work, which had combined country, rock and roll and pop sounds) was among the first successes of the 1990s "neotraditionalist" movement in country.

Three years later, Epstein produced Carter's follow-up CD Little Love Letters, featuring the hit "Every Little Thing", which was one of the top-rated music videos of the year.

1991

In 1991, the song "I Fell in Love" earned a Grammy nomination for Best Female Country Vocal Performance.

1994

Carter provided the voice of Red in the 1994 Williams pinball machine, Red & Ted's Road Show, designed by Pat Lawlor.

A clip of Carter's hit, "Every Little Thing", is played after the player scores a jackpot.

A picture of Carter appears in the game's back glass artwork.

Carter had a cameo appearance in the 1994 film Maverick.

She played a waitress on the gambling casino ship run by Commodore Duvall (James Coburn).

1995

In 1995, Carter's Little Acts of Treason was well received critically, but failed to achieve the commercial success of Carter's two previous releases.

1996

In 1996, Carter released Hindsight 20/20, a greatest-hits album, but it failed to achieve success.

She received a small amount of acclaim with the song "It Takes One to Know Me", which was released on the albums Johnny Cash: The Legend and Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash: Duets.

2005

In 2005, she was played by Victoria Hester in the movie Walk the Line.

2008

On November 20, 2008, Carlene Carter performed at Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton, Massachusetts, accompanied by Mike Emerson (Elvin Bishop, Tommy Castro) on piano and Sean Allen on electric guitar and later joined by her husband Joe Breen.

Alluding to some of her past problems, she said, "I'm really fortunate to have been making records for 30 years...I've had some gaps where I was doing research."

2009

On August 8, 2009, Carlene Carter played a live acoustic set at Heckscher Park in Huntington, New York.

During the performance, she stated that it was the first time in more than 30 years that she performed by herself.

During her hour-long set, she played the title track from her latest release "Stronger", and said it was written in memory of her younger sister, who had died six years earlier.

The track was performed on the piano and brought Carter to tears.

Her younger sister is also mentioned in her track "Wildwood Rose".

She ended the set by playing "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" with the opening act: The Homegrown String Band, a family band from the area.

She said it brought back memories of playing with her own family.

2020

As of 2020, since 1978, Carter has recorded 12 albums, primarily on major labels.

In the same timespan, she has released more than 20 singles, including three number three-peaking hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.
