Personal tribute with rare power

CARLENE Carter proves just how personal, and powerful, a tribute album can be with “Carter Girl.”

The album focuses solely on songs with family ties as she retools classics by country music pioneers the Carter Family (“Gold Watch And Chain,” “Little Black Train”), the Carter Sisters (“Poor Old Heartsick Me”), her mother June Carter Cash (“Tall Lover Man”) and her stepfather Johnny Cash (“Troublesome Waters,” performed as a duet with Willie Nelson). The material gains poignancy because Carter is the sole survivor of all those she looks to for material. “Carter Girl” has a rare power and it’s an album for the ages.
