Love Me Now (While I Am Living) / It's My Life (And I'll Live It)

Released in 1967 on the RCA Victor label, this single features Anita Carter, a foundational figure in country music and a member of the legendary Carter Family. During this period, Carter was continuing her solo career while balancing her deep-rooted familial musical legacy. The record reflects the polished, Nashville-inflected production style of the late 1960s, a time when country music was increasingly experimenting with broader pop sensibilities to reach a wider audience.

The song choices highlight Carter’s vocal versatility and the emotive storytelling central to her work. While the release did not reach the commercial heights of her earlier hits, it remains a respected piece of her discography. The design and production follow the standard RCA Victor aesthetic for the era, prioritizing clarity and the performer's name to appeal to established country music listeners who valued both tradition and contemporary production values.
