Featuring an incredible supporting cast that includes Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, and Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire, 'Just a Stone's Throw Away' is a masterclass in highly polished LA singer-songwriter craft. Valerie Carter seamlessly navigates between gentle country-pop melodies and smooth, blue-eyed soul arrangements. The pristine production perfectly frames her warm, deeply emotive vocal delivery.
