Ozark Timber

Carolyn Carter

Living well off the beaten path in hillbilly shack in the Ozark Mountains, Carolyn Carter has been singing for her supper as long as she can remember. With a voice that is soft and wild, 100% Arkansas, Carolyn plays the listener's heart strings while stumming those of her guitar. Inspired by church music and folks like Joan Baez and Emmylou Harris, Carolyn is gifted and passes on the gift through her wonderful songs.

She'll be in Wisconsin for a brief tour, November 5-7, 2015, with the Madison Folk Society, followed by a Cotter Creek House Concert in Shawano, and ending with a performance in Mequon. Here's Carolyn's schedule.

Thank you Joel Kroenke for suggesting Carolyn Carter for this program. Thank you Mark for your interest and pursuit in doing the interview. Listening to Carolyn's stories, hearing the lyrics to her songs, and her clear, soulful, unforgettable voice is truly a cultural experience that we wouldn't have wanted to miss. Blessings to you for sharing it with so many people via your program.

I had the honor of playing music with Carolyn and I have to say she is the real deal. Thank you so much for this show. Hearing her voice and stories again brings me back to one of the most amazing moments in my life. She is an amazing songwriter and one of the most humble people I have ever met and what an amazing voice and spokeswoman for her community. An incredibly giving woman. Northern Spirit Radio - my new spiritual friend. Thank you Mr. Helpsmeet!
