Carlene the Duet Queen
Videos of the Day Starring Carlene Carter
Carlene Carter is Johnny Cash’s step-daughter and Nick Lowe’s ex-wife and somehow still not as well known as she deserves to be. Her catalogue is filled with under heard gems but, she had a couple of major career highlights as a duet partner.
First up, this obscure Infinite Jones favorite featuring the even more obscure Robert Ellis Orrall from 1983:
Robert Ellis Orrall and Carlene Carter – I Couldn’t Say no
Next, we have this Country Rock Classic featuring her future ex-husband Lowe’s soon to be future ex-partner Dave Edmunds:
Carlene Carter and Dave Edmunds – Baby Ride Easy
And, here is a great Live version (apparently, it is from some Kid’s TV show so you will have to excuse the weird signage in the background):
And, since we really like this song, a slow version introduced by Thin Lizzy’s Phil Lynott:
All Hail Queen Carlene!
