Produced by Kent Anderson. Recorded at Transient Sound & CRC (Chicago). • The sessions were recorded 'live' in the studio with the end result being a record made in essentially the way records were made back in the day - everyone delivering a performance of the highest caliber, together in one big room. • Carrie auditioned for Berry Gordy and was immediately signed to Motown, the second white girl in the history of the label to ever do so (the other being Teena Marie). • Carrie has performed with Rowan & Martin, Liberace and Danny Thomas in Vegas, the Four Tops, The Temptations and Smokey Robinson. • Television appearances have included: three Tonight Shows, The Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon, The Merv Griffin Show, Late Night with Tom Snyder, The Mike Douglas Show, a special on 20/20, the Motown Merry Christmas Special, Don Cornelius' Soul Train and American Bandstand. • She has been nominated for a Dove Award, awarded Favorite Pop Album in Contemporary Christian Music magazine's Reader's Awards and garnered two #1 singles on the Billboard Contemporary Christian Charts • "For as long as I can remember I have been very selective of singers and songwriters I think are great and, I wanted to make a record that would resonate with people who feel the same way - and sing songs with great melodies and meaningful lyrics," explains Carrie.
