Carly Ritter - Carly Ritter

A child of Hollywood, Carly Ritter’s a late bloomer. The 31-year-old daughter of the late comic actor John Ritter and actress Nancy Morgan has just released her debut album. Steeped in a sunny, folk-rock sound that cries out California, it features winsome vocals, memorable songs like the sweetly melancholic “It Don’t Come Easy” and the poignant “Save Your Love” and contributions from the wife-husband team of Juliette Commagere and Joachim Cooder, Ritter's old schoolmates. Joachim’s famous father, Ry Cooder, also provides guitar accompaniment. Says Ritter: “I couldn’t have come across kinder and more supportive people than Joachim and Juliette and their families.” As if that wasn’t enough, Ritter admits she received inspiration from the music of her grandfather, country legend Tex Ritter. “It was a deep, comforting sound that always took me to a different place.” People are already saying the same thing about Ritter's music.
