Drenched in sun-kissed natural beauty both inside and out, Nashville native Deana Carter took a seemingly easy route to stardom but instead chose to defy the typical Nashville artist blueprint and make her mark. And she did, taking the industry and fans by storm with her wildly successful multi-platinum international debut Did I Shave My Legs For This? more than two decades ago. Anchored by the dreamy super hit ” Strawberry Wine,” Carter showcased her blend of country and retro-rock sprinkled with the folksy singer/songwriter qualities that have garnered her well-deserved respect and wild acclaim.
Her debut album, Did I Shave My Legs For This,? boasts six songs co-written and co-produced by Carter and was released to strong reviews in late summer 1996. By the end of the year, the record had climbed to the top of both the country and pop charts, quickly achieving multi-platinum status, with three number one singles in a row. A “first” for the genre, Carter's celebrated debut album held this distinction and many ground breaking achievements for more than five years and has become one of Country Music's most treasured classics of the 90's.
