JA-072C (Carla Gover "Hush My Restless Soul" Cassette)
- Description
-
Carla Gover was born in Whitesburg, Kentucky. Her strong grandmother —whom Gover says was her major influence—taught her the mountain ways of not only gardening and cooking, but also of singing and picking. As a student at the university of Kentucky, Gover majored in Appalchian Studies. As she met and played with other musicans, she began to write songs that were rooted in the musical traditions of the mountains where she had grown up. Her original songs range from misty, traditional sounding ballads accompanied by banjo to uptempo pop-influenced songs with a groove. She is a first-place winner of Merlefest's Chris Austin Songwriting Contest as well as the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Award. She often performs as a trio with acoustic bassist JT Cure and multi-instrumentalist Brett Ratliff.
