Taught by her mother (the legendary Mother Maybelle Carter of the Carter Family) to represent autoharp, June entered the limelight in 1937 blab with her sisters Helen and Anita, finally acting as the Carter Sisters afterwards the death of June's uncle A.P. Her ripe sense of humour and speedy wag prompted June to perform funniness skits and monologues during the show up, and light-emitting diode to a bangle recording of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with rural area comics Homer & Jethro which finally hit figure nine-spot on the country charts in 1949. In 1952, Carter married Carl Smith, with whom she performed at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry, and their daughter, Rebecca Carlene (later to record under the mention Carlene Carter), was born in 1955. After their disjoint in the late '50s, Carter was managed by Colonel Tom Parker and toured with Elvis Presley, and while living in Nashville, she met and briefly marital local constabulary officer Rip Nix with whom she another girl, Rosie. Although Carter dabbled in performing during the '50s, she returned to the musical stage in 1961 when the Carters joined Johnny Cash's road show up. Rumor has it that Cash had unbroken an eye on June since her appearances with the Carter Sisters in the other '50s, commenting, "I'm expiration to marry that girlfriend someday" (contempt the fact that both of them were silent married to other people at the time). In 1963, Carter co-wrote the song "Ring of Fire" with Merle Kilgore, which Cash (purportedly June's inspiration for the song) took to number i. Their Grammy-winning couple "Jackson" came true when Cash and Carter "got married in a fever hotter than a peppercorn sprout" in 1968. Cash has long credited June for forcing him to stir his addiction to amphetamines and encouraging his spiritual development, locution, "she is the person responsible for me silent being alive. She came along at a prison term in my sprightliness when I was going to self-destroy." Another Grammy (for "If I Were a Carpenter") and the parturition of Carter's third child, boy John Carter Cash, followed in 1970. June Carter Cash left the spot for most of the '70s and '80s, stating, "I worked with John, only I had sufficiency sense to walk just a lilliputian shipway behind him. I could have made more than records, only I precious to take a spousal relationship." She did, however, write deuce autobiographies (1979's Among My Klediments and 1987's From My Heart) and likewise did some performing, notably on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and alongside Robert Duvall in The Apostle. She did eventually return to transcription, cathartic a collection of both traditional family line songs and Carter Cash originals entitled Press On in 1999 which won a Grammy for best traditional folk album. Johnny Cash's health seemed to deteriorate end-to-end the '90s just as his career went through a renascence, and many fans were shocked when June Carter Cash died suddenly on May 15, 2003, next complications from spirit surgery. Given the fact that she had remained patently stone solid as he got weaker and weaker, it seemed as though Johnny might go across on, only Carter Cash would live perpetually. Luckily, she does live on today; through the children she raised (many of whom stimulate suit musicians themselves), through her penning and appearances on photographic film, through the contributions she made to her husband's life, and well-nigh intelligibly in the music she left behind. |

Katie Herzig
The daunting competition of breaking into Nashville's music scene hardly phased singer/songwriter Katie Herzig when she moved thither from Colorado two-and-a-half year ago. She had a little help from her friends�mainstays like Landon Pigg, Jeremy Lister and Matthew Perryman Jones�who would join forces with the sweet-sounding isaac Bashevis Singer on her new tunes. "I was really lucky because I fell easily into a community that was already established," Herzig says.
Herzig has a history of playing well with others, after eight years fronting Boulder, Colo.-based band Newcomers Home, a four-piece that released four albums. After breaking away to play solo, she released "Watch Them Fall" in 2004 and "Weightless" in 2006; from the latter, two songs ("Fools Gold" and "Sweeter Than This") were culled for placement in episodes of "Grey's Anatomy." Other tracks have shown up on "ER" and "Smallville" and her song "Heaven's My Home," recorded by the Duhks, received a 2007 Grammy Award nod for best country performance.
With her new set "Apple Tree," released independently May 13, Herzig's visibility only increases. The album, which features contributions from the Fray's Aaron Johnson and David Welsh, will be spotlighted on iTunes' singer/songwriter page for the next month and the track "I Will Follow" included on the indie singer/songwriters playlist. The July issue of Paste magazine's music compilation will feature her track "Hologram" while "Wish You Well" arrives on the third installment of Barnes & Noble's exclusive "Sundaymusic" compilation series. She's already confirmed for American Songwriter magazine's Ten From Tenn July/August tour and is working on her plans for the road this fall. She made a fan out of noncommercial KCRW Santa Monica, Calif., DJ Nic Harcourt, who has featured her on his "Morning Becomes Eclectic" show.
Herzig's gifts as a songwriter have stood out perhaps due to the fully produced nature of her songs, recorded with care and a bigness that transcends the potentially damning status of just being another girl in Nashville with a guitar. With a full backing band, string sections and her understated vocals front and center, "Apple Tree" is an adventurous and playful album perfect for the triple A set.
