Once you get away from where you're from, you look at it in a different way.

My father, Fred Carter, Jr., is definitely an extraordinaire.

I was in relationship with a guy who was much older than me - either he was past his prime and I was coming into mine. There was nothing I could do to keep his attention.

I never excluded any genre on my first record.

But once you become successful, everyone has an idea of what you should do.

James Michael and I played everything on the album, then brought in the guys in my band to add their spirit to it with solos and specific parts.

I'm so honored to be on this recording with Ann & Nancy Wilson. They are iconic and I've truly been one of their biggest fans since I was a kid. And what a perfect song to sing with them, since I adore Vince Gill and have been very proud for his commitment to his own musical vision. When we were recording at Nancy's house, and even though I'm friends with those girls now, I had to keep 'pinching' myself and marvel at how blessed my life is! It was a very PROUD moment for me.
