Carlene Carter issued a statement Friday welcoming Beyoncé to the family upon release of her new album, Cowboy Carter.
Carter is the daughter of country royalty in mother June Carter Cash, and is a star in her own right.
“I’ve caught wind of some negativity over the release of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, her new country album,” Carter said. “As a Carter Girl myself and coming from a long line of Carter Girls, I’m moved to ask why anyone would treat a Carter this way? She is an incredibly talented and creative woman who obviously wanted to do this because she likes country music, In my book, she’s one of us Carter women and we have always pushed the boundaries by trying whatever music we felt in our hearts and taking spirit-driven risks.”
The Carter family had some of the earliest country recordings, dating to the 1920s and Mother Maybelle Carter.

“I sat down at the piano and the first thing that came out of my mouth was what I recorded,” she said. “To be honest, the only version I’ve ever heard in my whole life is the Johnny Cash version, so I had no real history. I just went into it pretty blank… You can feel that energy on the recording, so it’s a very important process for me...

The Bee Gees, The Go-Go’s, David Bowie, the Grateful Dead, Louis Armstrong, the Velvet Underground, and Tina Turner have something more in common than just musical greatness. They’ll all been the subject of recent documentaries, part of an explosion in popularity of the nonfiction genre.
Record companies used to be relatively passive partners in documentary making – licensing songs here and there. But with streaming platforms, theatrical distributors, and cable networks avid for music-driven docs and series, labels are stepping up to deliver nonfiction content themselves. Sony Music’s Premium Content Division has become a leader in the space.
“We have an incredible opportunity to pair up some of the best music artists in the world with some of the best filmmakers in the world and create new art between them,” notes Krista Wegener, EVP Premium Content Development, Sales and Distribution. “That’s a really exciting proposition and something...

What is your earliest memory of watching horror films?
Answer: The first horror film I ever saw in my life was when I was 5 years old and I wasn’t supposed to see it then because my parents thought I was in the bed asleep but I was laying in the hallway watching the tv in the living room from a distance. The film was “Jaws”. HBO was a brand new thing to households and we had just got cable. Needless to say I was scared to death to even take a bath after that,but…it was the beginning of a journey that is now my life.
You are cousin of June Carter Cash, Wife of Johnny Cash. Did this influence your decision to be in the entertainment industry?
Answer: Long before I ever knew who June Carter or Johnny Cash was, I was drawn to music and I loved to sing.
