We are very excited and grateful for these awards.  Our album Leap  Before You Look is obviously very special to us and to be rewarded in this way for album of the year is wonderful.  And to have the Duo and Artist of the year is doubly exciting, and we thank everyone who believes in us and our music. We have been thrilled with the response to all the songs from Leap Before You Look.'   Merelyn and David

Leap Before You Look is up, it’s fun, it’s all original and it’s indicative of Carter & Carter’s dedication to their craft. There are emotional highs and heart string pullers, there are loud and proud moments, and tender reflections on life.
The importance of the story behind the song is evident in every moment.

Already boasting the three award winning national hit singles Play That Songand Ride and The Best Things In Life Are Free', Leap Before you Look is Carter & Carter at their best.
A truly amazing album.

Every Minute

Too Busy?  One of those days ?  Take a minute or so to take in this superb new release from Merelyn and David Carter. 

Every Minute contains words that will make you wish you hadn't, and also make you wish you had, and may even make you do it.  These songs, all twelve of them will tear at your heart, make you grin and you will even giggle a little.  I guarantee you will be moved by these songs. 

You'll remember, you'll think about now and tomorrow all at the same time.  She'll come to mind, so will he.  Could be Mum, Dad or perhaps that child or sibling you don't see often enough.  You will think of someone different every time you listen to these songs. 

The emotions contained here need to be felt, you will hear the emotions in the songs and feel them in the words.

Every Minute is a very special album by some very special people.

Seven of the twelve songs are written by Merelyn and David with some help from friends on a couple and a stand out performance from Darren Coggan a busy man himself. 

Every Minute deserves a full and complete listen, don't skim over the tracks listen to every word, every note and enjoy every second of the album.

Herm Kovac has given this album his unique touch and the musicians featured are the best of the best. 

More than just songs and music.  Every Minute is Every Emotion, Every Word, Everyone's Life.

Their third award winning song (2001 Country & Gospel Song of the Year) 'A Little Place Called Love' also went all the way to #1. The album itself has picked up several awards and loads of nominations.

Just recently Carter & Carter picked up two more prestigious awards at the Australian Independent Awards. They were awarded 2001 Album of the Year for 'Dance Away The Night' and 2001 Artist of the Year.
