August 23, 2007 — Deana Carter called on some talented friends, including Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and George Jones when she started working on her new CD.
Deana, who had a huge hit with "Strawberry Wine" in 1996, will release The Chain on October 9. Other guests include John Anderson, Jessi Colter, Shooter Jennings and Deana's father, legendary session player Fred Carter, Jr., who performs throughout the album.
"Ever since I knew that music was going to be my life's path, I've wanted to pay tribute to my dad and to the artists who were so good to me and my family," Deana says. "The camaraderie between them, and the way they took our family and made it part of their families, was so unique that I wanted to recapture it for a little while."
The Chain features duets with Deana and her guests on some of their biggest hits. The CD also includes two rising stars, Shooter Jennings on "Good Hearted Woman," the song made famous by his father, Waylon Jennings, and Harper Simon on "The Boxer," a nod to his dad, Paul Simon, who plays guitar on the track. Deana, who produced and arranged the album, also offers solo recordings of such classics as "Lay Lady Lay," "Crying" and "Old Man."
