Deana Carter To Release Southern Way of Life In Late November

Deana Carter has formed her own record label, Little Nugget Records, and plans to release her first new studio album since 2007 this fall. Southern Way of Life is expected to be released the week of Thanksgiving.

Today, as she readies her latest bundle of uniquely crafted tunes for upcoming release on Southern Way of Life , Carter explores many subjects commonly shared over a quaint dinner, afternoon coffee or a sunny day hike with a good friend.

The songs weave through the sometimes rocky terrain of adulthood, including loss of love, relationships on many different levels, trials, tribulations and simply put – life. Instinctively autobiographical, the subject matter mimics the interesting ride of Carter’s own life – so far.

Carter now divides her time between Los Angeles and Nashville, writing and producing for both the pop/rock and country markets when not on the road touring. Her superstar success continues to be evident as last year’s chart topper  “You & Tequila,"  co-written with Matraca Berg and recorded by Kenny Chesney, was nominated as CMA’s “Song of the Year”, received two Grammy nods and also received a nomination as ACM’s “Song of the Year”.  Carter also recently co-wrote and produced a new album for recording artist Audra Mae.
