Carlene Carter’s Stronger (Yep Rock) Gets Release Date

Hard to believe it’s been a year since novelist Silas House wrote a feature in No Depression’s March-April 2007 issue heralding Carlene Carter’s first album in 13 years, Stronger (Yep Rock.) The album has finally been given a release date of March 4, 2008.

Her songs have been covered by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, Emmylou Harris, Miranda Lambert, former husband Nick Lowe, and many others.
