Carlene Carter comes full circle with her latest CD, Carter Girl, on Rounder Records. As the daughter of country music legends June Carter Cash and Carl Smith, and granddaughter of “Mother” Maybelle Carter of the original historic Carter Family, Carlene said it was her lifelong goal to make this record. Producing her next album, Little Acts of Treason, in 1995, Carlene got her father Carl Smith out of retirement for a duet of his hit “Loose Talk.” Wherever she performs, Carlene knows that she is doing her part to honor those who came before her, in her own way. Nearly a century after their first recordings changed the course of American music, that circle remains unbroken by Carlene Carter.

In 2022, BSAC continues to give tribute to their sonic Sensei, Maestro Lawrence Butch Morris (1947-2013) for showing them “THE WAY” of Conducted Improvisation allowing them to “never playing anything the same way once,” and to GT for creating the caramelized spaceship allowing BSAC access to a many-splendored and darkly energetic celestial realm of cosmic noise & riddim!

In the early 1980s, Rick Springfield signed to RCA Records and was then cast as “Dr. Noah Drake” on the soap General Hospital. While he had released six albums in the 1970s, his 1980 break-through album Working Class Dog gave him the #1 single “Jessie’s Girl.” From his music and TV exposure, he became a teen idol. He continued to star on “GH” while touring and releasing Success Hasn’t Spoiled Me Yet, with the hit “Don’t Talk To Strangers.” Upon releasing his 3rd album with RCA, Living In Oz, he quit “GH” and went back to his rock roots. Living In Oz is considered by many his finest (and hardest rock) album. He starred in the movie Hard to Hold in 1984 and released the soundtrack to it with the hit “Love Somebody,” followed by “Don’t Walk Away” and “Bop Til Ya Drop.” His next album, Tao, was followed up in 1988 by Rock Of Life.
