Deana Carter
'Strawberry Wine' — a 1996 debut that sold five million copies and still stops a field cold.
Deana Carter is a country singer and songwriter from Nashville, the daughter of guitarist Fred Carter Jr., who spent years as a session player on records made in the city. That upbringing put her around the industry early, though she took a while to find her own footing as a recording artist, eventually signing with Capitol Nashville.
Her breakthrough album, 'Did I Shave My Legs for This?', arrived in 1996 and produced a run of country radio hits including 'We Danced Anyway', 'Count Me In' and 'How Do I Get There'. Carter's style leans on a softer, folk-tinged side of mainstream country, built around acoustic textures and an unforced, conversational vocal delivery rather than big-voiced showmanship.
