Album DescriptionAvailable in:
I Fell in Love is a studio album, released in 1990 by American country singer Carlene Carter. This was the highest-ranking Billboard album of her career, at #19 on the US Country charts. Four singles from the album also charted, with the title song "I Fell in Love," and "Come on Back" both reaching #3 as singles. Two lower-charting hits were the #25 "The Sweetest Thing" and the #33 "One Love." The track "Me and the Wildwood Rose" is a tribute to Carter's grandmother, Mother Maybelle Carter. "Easy From Now On", a song that Carter cowrote in the 1970s, was originally covered by Emmylou Harris.
User Album Review
I Fell In Love is Carlene Carter's benchmark. She covers every country sub-genre from tearful lullabies of remembrance (The Sweetest Thing) to swing (My Dixie Darlin'). Her honky-tonk is charming. On `I Fell In Love' Carlene's boast "I fell in love" is questioned by a male chorus with "What do you want to do that for?" `Come On Back' rocks with a Buddy Holly sensibility and radiant girl chorus harmonizing "Baby, come on back to me." Howie Epstein (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) produces I Fell I Love with touches of pop and rock. The country two-step `The Leavin' Side' is garnished with bright jangling guitars. The elegant gem is `Easy From Now On' with tasteful guitar lines and beautiful vocal harmonies. Session aces include drummer Jim Keltner (a stylist who other instrumentalists study in Drums 101) and the refined guitar of Albert Lee (provocative, yet never flashy).
Carlene pays a touching and nostalgic tribute to her roots in `Me And The Wildwood Rose' by recognizing the love shared by her, her mother and grandmother. I Fell In Love is a sterling model of love, family and country music. --dev1
