Two interesting Carlene-related items in the latest issue
(March/April 03) of No Depression, the alternative country music
magazine:
1) A full-page ad appears for the upcomng Waylon Jennings tribute
ablum on Dualtone. Carlene's will be singing "I've Always Been
Crazy."
2) The cover story is an interview with Rosanne Cash, written by
Lloyd Sachs. Her new album (with appearances by Johnny Cash, Steve
Earle and others) sounds great. But, apparently, there is some bad
blood between the second-generation Cash and Carter clans. Quoting:
"According to Rosanne she has been impersonated to invasive effect
over the past two decades by one of the daughters of her famed
stepmother, singer June Carter (whom Johnny married in 1968). Rosanne
claims the woman has exploited the similarity of her given name,
Rozanna, and nickname Rosey.
"'The reason I have not done anything about it, beyond asking her to
stop, is that it is so painful to June, and I respect June,'"
explained Rosanne, who says that she is finally planning to pursue a
cease-and-desist order. "'Both her daughters have done horrible,
unspeakble things to me and to the whole family.'" June's other
daughter, Carlene Carter, whose star as a new-breed country singer
once rose in parallel trajectory to Rosanne's, has spiralied sadly
out of the picture amid recent arrests for drugs and identity theft."
