Carter's Chord goes the digital route
Tuesday, May 13, 2008 – Carter's Chord will release their self-titled debut through all major online
retailers digitally on June 17 with Show Dog Nashville. The albums physical release is expected later this year. This seems to be part of a trend towards digital release of albums. A disc by Jennifer Hanson comes out two weeks prior to Carter's Chord release.
Produced by Toby Keith and Barny Robertson, the trio's father, Carter's
Chord captures the music of sisters Becky, Emily and Joanna Robertson. Barny and
Carter Robertson toured in Waylon Jennings band until the birth of their oldest daughter Becky. The group's name is an homage to their mother.
Carter's Chord includes 10 tracks, 5 written by the group and a backing vocal (on "Summer Early '60s") by their mother Carter, who is also the song's composer. The album also features the band's new single "Different Breed."
Hillary Lindsey ("Jesus Take The Wheel"), Scooter Caruso ("Better Than A Memory"), Aimee Mayo ("Amazed"), Craig Wiseman ("Love Me If You Can"), Sarah Buxton ("Stupid Boy"), Carolyn Dawn Johnson ("Georgia") and Kim Ritchey ("Believe Me Baby I Lied") all receive writing credits on the album.
The Robertson sisters made their major label debut as children, singing on
Waylon Jennings' country album for kids, "Cowboys, Sisters, Rascals & Dirt." Their immersion in music led them almost inevitably to Nashville, where Toby Keith liked what he heard and signed them to his label. They will tour with Keith, Montgomery Gentry and Trailer Choir on Keith's Biggest & Baddest Tour, running June through this fall.
Songs on the release are:
1. Boys Like You (Give Love A Bad Name)
2. Young Love
3. Summer Early '60s
4. When We Get There
5. Dear Baltimore
6. Different Breed
7. Over You
8. Song Of Blue
9. Can't Seem To Let You Go
10. Goodbye Song

Carter's Chord
It's unlikely Carter's Chord's "Summer Early '60s" will make country radio. But what Martina McBride did to raise awareness of domestic violence with "Independence Day," this fledgling sister trio of 20s-somethings take it to another level with a gritty, autobiographical song written by their mother about her childhood.
And give Toby Keith credit for letting the sisters - Becky, Emily and Johanna Robertson - record it. It's classic American gothic, »»» |
Editorial: Walking the talk –
When names like Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Waylon and the Hag are invoked, you're talking hard core country. These are the touchstones of country , the guys who made country music what it was and still is (or maybe can be). When these folks would sing about being down-and-out and the rough-and-tumble, they knew of what they were singing about. Fast forward a few years to the country singers of today. »»»

Concert Review: White makes the case for himself, no matter how dark the music –
John Paul White opined with a glint in his eyes that his songs were not of the uplifting variety. In fact, they were downright dark. How else to explain "The Long Way" with the line "long way home back to you." Or "James," a song inspired by his grandfather who suffered from dementia.
But lest you think that the Alabama... »»»
