Regarded as “Canada’s Queen of Country Music”, and for good reason.
Carroll Baker’s long and impressive list of accolades includes over 25 Juno Nominations (3x Winner), and 15+ CCMA nods (3x Winner). She is a member of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame and in 2009 was appointed to the Order of Canada. Her debut record, Mem’ries of Home was released on Columbia Records in 1970 and between then and 1992, Carroll went on to release 14 studio albums, charting 53 Singles on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks charts including 14 #1 hits, many of which coming from her very own pen. I was eager and so happy to hear her story from the early years in the honky-tonks to cementing herself as a bonafide Country music star.
