A Stronger Carlene Carter

The last time most folks heard about Carlene Carter, the news wasn't good -- in 2001, she and then-boyfriend Howie Epstein (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers) spent the night in jail in New Mexico after being pulled over in a stolen truck with nearly three grams of heroin.
2003 would prove to be a devastating year for her, as her mother June Carter, her step-father Johnny Cash, her sister Rosey Carter, and her former beau Epstein all died within the space of a few months.
After all this, the mere fact that Carlene Carter is healthy and making music again seems surprising enough, so it's doubly impressive that 2008's Stronger is one of her best and most personal albums to date.
