Carlene Carter’s stepfather did some good stuff, too.
I was already a huge Cash fan before this came out and this just solidified him for me as one of the greatest artists ever.

Carlene Carter — Come On Back
Year: 1990
Did not realize she was dating Tom Petty’s bassist when he died from overdose.
Mary Chapin Carpenter — Only A Dream
Year: 1992
She had the most success on the country charts, but she’s more folk. This song just slays me.
Mariah Carey — Emotions
Year: 1991
A collaboration with C&C Music Factory, famous for showing off her five octave vocal range. My second favorite would be the rather unheralded “Anytime You Need A Friend.”
Candyman — Knockin’ Boots
Year: 1990
This was my favorite song from age nine to twelve. Had no idea what the song meant, and I would sing it all the time in the house. Sorry, Mom.
Tevin Campbell — Round and Round
Year: 1990
Did not know Tevin was just 14 when this was dropped, or that it was in Graffiti Bridge and produced by Prince.
Glen Campbell — Wichita Lineman
Year: 1968
What he hell are those props? Are they supposed to represent telephone polls?
Anyway, what a voice. “And I need you more than want you. And I want you for all time,” has always been one of my favorite lyrics about love and it’s how I feel about my wife.
Cake — Never There
Year: 1998
I cannot heard a dial tone without then thinking, “I need your arms around me I need to feel your touch.”
Tracy Byrd — Watermelon Crawl
Year: 1994
He’s got a lot of love songs and breakup songs that struck a chord with me as a teenager. But I think I will always love the upbeat and silly Watermelon Crawl.
Bobby Byrd — Try It Again
Year: 1973
The guy who discovered James Brown and wrote a lot of his hits. They teamed up on “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine.”
