Bill Carpenter, Goldmine, 1997
EVERYTHING ONE should do to get a big name in showbiz seems to be the opposite of what Tracy Nelson does. No fancy duds to snatch her a mention on Mr. Blackwell's Best Dressed list. No L.A. mansion, no penthouse overlooking Central Park. No formulaic Top 40 hooks to insure her a place on the Billboard survey.
