ANITA CARTER - OUT ON HER OWN: THE SINGLES & ALBUMS COLLECTION 1950-62

Anita CARTER Out On Her Own: The Singles & Albums Collection 1950-62 / Anita Carter was one of the legendary Carter Family country and folk music dynasty, one of the three daughters, along with Helen and June, of Maybelle Carter, one of the original celebrated Carter Family group of the 1920s, '30s and '40s. Born in 1933, she sang with her mother and sisters from an early age, and was always destined for a career in music with the family having unique connections within the industry. She did her first sessions in 1949 with Maybelle, Helen and June in 1949 as part of the New Carter Family, and a year later recorded her first solo session for RCA as a solo artist, with future Elvis Presley producer Steve Sholes in charge of the session. This 58-track 2-CD collection comprises the A and B sides of her singles on the RCA-Victor, Columbia, Cadence, Jamie & Mercury labels from these years, including duet releases with Hank Snow, plus the tracks from the RCA album "Together Again With Hank Snow" and most of the tracks from the Mercury album "Sings Folk Songs Old And New". It includes her Top 5 hits with Hank Snow "Down The Trail of Achin' Hearts" and "Bluebird Island". It also features her original version of "Love's Ring Of Fire", which became a hit for Johnny Cash. She was a stylish and distinctive country and folk singer, steeped in the idiom, and this is a thorough overview of her first decade as a solo performer.
