Deana Carter quotes about
Any album that I ever put out I'm going to send it to country radio first.
How do I tell you what my heart's been telling me?
I'm a big fan of '70s records where artists could draw on whatever influences they wanted.
I think the themes in my songs are very similar from the first album to the newest one. It's all about the human condition and how we are all trying to learn to live with each other and survive love and life.
I've been in LA for 5 years now, and it's been very freeing creatively.
I also love real estate and decorating.
The songs come from a vulnerable place, but expressing that part of yourself can also make you feel fearless.
There's a lot of freedom for me living in L.A.
Yes, we do mimic our parents in a lot of ways.
I'm so honored to be on this recording with Ann & Nancy Wilson. They are iconic and I've truly been one of their biggest fans since I was a kid. And what a perfect song to sing with them, since I adore Vince Gill and have been very proud for his commitment to his own musical vision. When we were recording at Nancy's house, and even though I'm friends with those girls now, I had to keep 'pinching' myself and marvel at how blessed my life is! It was a very PROUD moment for me.
No matter what you do for a living all we have is music to get through certain situations.
Nashville has a formula, and it works a lot of the time, but it wasn't right for me. They're afraid to step outside the box - even though, with me, my success came because I was outside of the box to begin with.
Once you get away from where you're from, you look at it in a different way.
My father, Fred Carter, Jr., is definitely an extraordinaire.
