her aunt Anita was the greatest singer i ever heard live,she was singing back up for June and Johnny in the early eighties, as soon as she sung her first note you could hear the whole audience gasp and whisper"who the hell is that?". June must have seen the whole audience staring at her because at the end of the song she said "this is my sister Anita" she was beaming with pride. Anita sounded like an angel from heaven...literally
ITS THOSE FUCKING REESES PEANUT BUTTER CUPS. I CANT STOP EATING THE BASTARDS EITHER. THEY SHOULD BE SUED. I HAVE TO GO TO REHAB TO GET OFF THE PERNUT BUTTER CUPS, BUT I SAY NO NO NO. I DONT WANNA GO TO REHAB, I WONT GO GO GO. FUCK YOU REESES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus. Give her (and all of us getting older) a fucking break!!! Because of the internets we keep seeing her in her younger days--who the hell looks like that now? Oh, people in their 20s. What are they gonna look like? I'm bald for heaven sakes.....
no way. I can't believe this is her. That it not a shot at her, she just looks so different. She still seems like a cool lady..someone I want to share a drink with
I think Carlene looks better as a blonde but she still looks good and looks heathy and if she's happy that's all that matters. Glad she's got her life together.
@indigosow you seem obsessed with the visual image of carlene i have followed her for over 20 years and during that time she has had some reall well documented shit to contend with allbeit self inflicted most of the time.. she has however allways maintainted the most wonderfull live vocal ability ,she is a terribly underated songwriter and believe me one of the greatest ever live performers in country musis so concentrate on that
Yes, she has gained weight, but I think she's still beautiful. Look at the Video with Nick Lowe for "Cruel to be Kind" She's so skeletal, she looks ill. A few pounds, doesn't change the TALENT people!!!!
Geez...I almost went to her show in NJ in 2009...I wouldn't have even known her!! She looks incredibly different!!! and has such a smoker's voice...I am glad she survived her trials and tribulations...anyone know how she is doing currently?
I think she is a doll! These so called country singers now.. the Barbie doll pop singers who dominate the CMT awards.. can't even hold a candle to her talent and charm.
Have you seen the way the average female american looks nowadays? She's not heavy she's average. it sucks that over half americans don't give a damn that they are overweight. I'm 5'9 and 160 lbs. people don't give a shit now that they are fat. no wonder females are turning lesbian, it's because men don't want nothin to do with their fat asses. I would rather use my hand than pork some pork.
Saw her playing live this week, Acoustic gig, she was truly amazing she still has what it takes. Up on stage you can still see the CC we love, looks good sounds fantastic, guitar playing out of this world.
She had a drug problem in the late 90s. I saw her around then - she must have weighed about 80 pounds and looked terrible. She's thankfully brought herself back from the brink in recent years after a lot of horrible things happened to her. She looks happy and healthy now as far as I can see - who cares if shes put on a few pounds.
@Gazza63 Absolutely! And she's no longer wearing those skirts that were so high she could pass a sailboat between her legs. Y'gotta remember that she's about 56 years old, and holding up pretty well.
Thanks for this post. Carlene has always been one of my faves. Did she once say she put the c*nt into country music? I certainly fancied the pants off her back in the day!
i think she is a great talent that NASHVILLE refused to nurture. i have seen her at a couple of concerts and she is really terrific. i am also glad to see that she is like the rest of us 40 to 50 year old women,,,,you can't be skinny forever.....God Bless her, she's one of my favorites!
Nashville doesn't "nurture" talent. It exploits it and then throws it away when the balance sheet becomes unfavorable. Just a fact of life in the country music bidniz. Carlene is one of many artists who has found that out the hard way.
Oh My God! What has happened to the blonde cutie? She's a mess, I can't believe it!

She has survived so much... her drug problems, the deaths of her mother June, sister Rosie, Howie Epstein and she has recorded again. Good CD!
