Blue Nun is an album by the American musician Carlene Carter, released in 1981. It features two duets with British rocker Paul Carrack: "Oh How Happy" and "Do Me Lover".
Critical reception
Writing in The Boston Phoenix, Joyce Millman opined that while Carter "can write a snazzy pop tune ... the absence of any 'Western swing' makes Blue Nun a bit of a disappointment. ... [T]hough [producer Nick] Lowe has assembled the best pop hired hands (guitarists Martin Belmont, Billy Bremner, and ex-Record Huw Gower), Carter frequently sounds like a teenager singing along with her Supremes records."
