Tammy Does Carlene
Saturday, June 6th, 2009, 10pm
The Rodeo Bar (27th St. and 3rd Ave., NYC)
Free

That loopy little country-gospel chanteuse, Tammy Faye Starllite
Pays tribute to the original blonde wild-child of Tennessee, Miss Carlene Carter
Tammy will perform Carlene's two sublime Nick Lowe-produced albums, "Musical Shapes" (1980) and "Blue Nun" (1981)
at the Rodeo Bar
June 6th at 10pm
With a band that includes Keith Hartel (bass and vocals), Dave Dunton (keyboards), Mike Dvorkin (electric guitar), Heidi Lieb (acoustic guitar) and Maria McKenna (drums). Songs include "Baby Ride Easy", "Foggy Mountain Top,", "I'm So Cool," "Oh How Happy," "Too Many Teardrops," "Born To Move" and a new wave maximum-bass version of "Ring Of Fire." 'Twill be a fab and glitter-neon country- early '80's eve, replete with leather miniskirts, high-heeled Fryes and maybe even a Dave Edmunds-inspired pink tie.
Carlene once famously said (at the dearly depatred Bottom Line) that she'd like to put the c*nt back in country, and well, Tammy Faye surely qualifies as a c*nt. (Asterisks for propriety only.)

From the Carlene Carter Website, written by Brad DeMeulenaere:

"And if you are in New York City on June 6, please try to catch the second Carlene tribute show by our Fan Club friend Tammy Faye Starlite, as she performs Carlene's great "Musical Shapes" and "Blue Nun" albums at The Rodeo Bar! I was lucky enough to see Tammy's first show of Carlene's music in Nashville in 2007, and she is an amazing performer, who truly does justice to Carlene's songs, with a great band and lots of humor throughout too. More details on Tammy's show, including what Carlene had to say about it, on the News page:

This is Tammy's second show in tribute to Carlene. Before the first one, Carlene wrote: "Hey anybody that is willing to take on anything about me is A OK with me! Please tell Tammy that I can't believe anyone would want to be so cool as to think about tribute----ing me, but she will go down in history for being so brave. I've got to meet this chick! It may well be a match made in mayhem."-
