Deana Carter, ''The Chain'' (Vanguard) Deana Carter has always followed her own idiosyncratic path. Even her most famous song, ''Strawberry Wine,'' and her best-selling album, ''Did I Shave My Legs for This?'' were outside of country music conventions.

Award-winning singer/songwriter/performer Deana Carter unveils The Chain, her fifth studio record October 9th on Vanguard Records. Each of the 12 songs on The Chain has a special importance to Deana, who personally chose material that had a great impact on her early life.

Heart singer Ann Wilson has recorded her first-ever solo effort Hope & Glory, due September 11th on Zoë/ Rounder Records. The arresting vocalist branches out with a socially conscious and thought-provoking album of songs she selected to inspire the appropriately titled Hope & Glory.
