As a child, Carper (who was nicknamed “Daddy” years ago by her bandmates) immersed herself in the sounds of Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, and other greats from her parents’ collection, but it was a specific gift from her father - a full collection of Jimmie Rodgers recordings - that sparked the fire behind the sound Carper has developed.
The new album Daddy's Country Gold is a compilation album of sorts -- a collection of Carper's best material drawn from across the various bands she maintains.
