How can one do an album of Dave Carter songs without Dave Carter? The sound of his voice has been so much a part of the unmistakable feel of his lyrics. Well, Tracy's done it somehow. Dave Carter's inimitable kind of lyric writing is given full (minus Dave) voice here. It amounts, I guess, to a kind of tribute to him and a very good one. All the songs save one are Dave Carter originals. Tracy does a very fine job of delivering them--even the ones which would have been lead sung by Dave himself--both the slow, mournful Carter songs and the fast, jaunty Carter compositions. Tracy herself does wonderful instrumental work on violin and guitar. Jim Henry plays great dobro and mandolin. Jon Carroll has a way with the piano. John Jennings (Mary Chapin Carpenter's protege) co-produces, plays and sings harmony--as does Mary Chapin herself. It's a wonderful success. You'd know these were Dave Carter songs anywhere. Just two examples of that lyric-writing voice that is so familiar:
"lonesome stranger, won't you share my bed
the sidewalk siren at the bus stop said
love is a tear in a salty bay and it's
hard to make it in this world today."
"my love is like a gypsy rose
wild is the only way he grows
out where the sweet july wind blows
he blooms over yonder."
Tracy deserves a lot of praise for the idea and the carrying through of this project to bring Dave's voice back for all of his fans. Terrific.
