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!
