Carlene Crom has finished her latest CD A View from the Porch Swing – an acoustic compilation that includes songs begun three years ago at Tesco Productions, two other tunes, and new recordings made here the past couple of months. Most of the material is written by Carlene, and touches on life’s events, relationships, country and Creator. Also included is a heart-warming tune “Dandy Lyin’ Day” that the family of Susie Schaaf was glad to have her use. From trials, loss of all but your loved ones, or even that loss, to joy in life’s simple and grand treasures and to hope beyond – there’s a piece here that will touch your mind and soul. The release is being well received – and rightly so. You can find out more about Carlene and her music on her facebook page. Two samplers of her music are posted in our audio clips under Gospel and Americana.
