Carlene Carter is the debut album by Carlene Carter, recorded in London with Graham Parker’s backing band, the Rumour.
Critical reception
K.A. Scott of AllMusic writes "By recording her debut album in England, Carlene Carter served notice that despite coming from a legendary American country music family, she intended to make her own way in the biz and establish her own musical identity."
Robert Christgau says, "This woman has a strong voice, an assertive persona, and good taste in bands (the Rumour) and grandmothers (Maybelle C.)."
