Mobile native Carla Williams says she fully understands how high a bar she was setting for herself when she began work on a Carpenters tribute album. What she didn’t necessarily understand was just how far the project would take her.
Mobile native Carla Williams says she fully understands how high a bar she was setting for herself when she began work on a Carpenters tribute album.
“Karen had a three-octave range, so that in itself was a little scary for me to even consider tackling,” said Williams. Prior to this project, Williams’ preferred genre has been country music. She released the album “I’m Home” on Nashville-based independent label Lofton Creek in 2009, but later stepped back to focus on her children.
The classic “Close to You” features the Nashville Strings. Four other tracks -- “Superstar,” “ Goodbye to Love,” “Hurting Each Other” and “Yesterday Once More” were recorded at Abbey Road, where the London Strings were brought to bear. The idea seems to have been to give Carpenters fans a lot of what they like, rather than worrying about tightening it up for potential airplay.
More of a surprise is a another the shredding that comes in the album’s opening track, “I Just Fall in Love Again.” Williams said the wailing solo the work of Hemby, who contributed additional guitar throughout the album. While it’s not part of the original Carpenters arrangement, it’s in keeping with their approach on “Goodbye to Love.”
