Dave Carter

Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer were an American folk duo who released three albums from 1998 to 2001, as well as additional material released after Dave Carter's death. The duo consisted of Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer. Their work dealt with a number of themes, particularly Buddhist theology, Arthurian legend, and the American west, often juxtaposed together in one song. In 2002, shortly before his death, Dave spoke of the duo's "ever-burgeoning goddess repertoire" as another lyric theme. One example of mixture of themes may be found in the closing lines of "Happytown", the first track from the album, Tanglewood Tree: "parceval and valentino, ridin' winged palominos willie in his el camino, on the run here in the shining city, here in the endless summer here in the cave of wonder, number ninety-two the gods will lounge around until the show is through but it's all right, it's all right with me, if it's all right with you" Their first album, When I Go, was actually released as a Dave Carter album "with Tracy Grammer" and Carter sang the lead vocals on all but one of the tracks, "Kate and the Ghost of Lost Love", which was a duet.
