Playin' on the Tracks

Playin' On the Tracks is the compelling story of Carter Robertson's transformation from a child of the rural Pentecostal church culture to a world-class performer at the epicenter of Country Music's "Outlaw Movement". From California's Dust Bowl heritage of the 1950s to the Height-Ashbury of the 60s and 70s, this quintessentially American tale chronicles her journey of innocence, turmoil, and triumph in parallel with one of the most turbulent periods in the country's history. Playin' On the Tracks is your backstage pass to Carter's irreverent and inspiring world, where Country music rules, humor softens real life tragedies, and perceived failures result in redemption and the attainment of the American Dream.
