    The late great Valerie Carter was a singers-singer - who through her career sang backup for everyone from James Taylor and Jimmy Webb to Willie Nelson and Neil Diamond as well as a hit songwriter for Judy Collins and Jackson Browne.?.A lost classic of post Laurel Canyon Americana, "Just A Stone's Throw Away" features her warm, soulful cover of the Five Stairsteps' 'Ooh Child' and a stellar supporting cast including Linda Ronstadt, Maurice White (Earth Wind & Fire), Lowell George (Little Feat), Jackson Browne, Deniece Williams and more.??

    The slick LA-rock orientated "Wild Child" includes the mellow west coast groove 'Da Doo Rendezvous' and a who's-who of top session players including Steve Lukather, Jeffrey & Steve Porcaro (Toto) and Jay Graydon. ?.20 page booklet includes lyrics, photos and new essay by project-producer/ex-Attitude editor Adam Mattera.
