Deana Carter has always been the most successful when she was given the most freedom. And she's never had as much room to be herself and to do things as she wished as on The Story of My Life, her first album since moving to Los Angeles and signing with Vanguard Records.
Carter started her career with more freedom than most artists usually receive, and the results made her one of the breakout stars of the late ‘90s. She co-produced (but was not given credit) her debut album, Did I Shave My Legs for This?, which included the award-winning hit "Strawberry Wine" - a teen coming-of-age song unlike anything on the radio before or since. But once she achieved such success, she lost her freedom. Everything she released in subsequent years involved battles with record label executives over direction, production and song selection.
Relationships certainly worked their way into her creative process, too, something that's obvious on "Not Another Love Song," "Getting Over You,"Atlanta to Birmingham" and the wickedly witty "She's Good for You.""There's a lot of vulnerable moments on this record - more than I've ever had before," she says. "I hate to say that I've had my heart broken again, but it's true. I didn't see it coming, and it really twisted me up in knots. So I had to write about it."
Even for an artist known for her tenderness, her boldness and her rambunctiousness, The Story of My Life nonetheless found her going to places inside herself she hadn't ventured in the past. "These songs are so personal - I felt very exposed through the making of the whole record," she says. "I felt so alive. The songs come from a vulnerable place, but expressing that part of yourself can also make you feel fearless. I love those songs."
She feels the same about her the playful songs and the one-of-a-kind character sketches that fill out The Story of My Life, too. "I mean, there wasn't any box to fit," she says, "so I took things wherever I felt they should go. I felt blessed, but I also felt the responsibility to be bold, and not compromise myself. We were free to experiment, and we did."
