The albums included Carter's award-winning Americana songcraft. Tracy Grammer is also noted for the solo career that she has continued since Carter's death in 2002.

Seven Is The Number (2006) was the last official full-length Dave & Tracy recording. The album unfinished at the time of Carter's death, featured songs from Carter's out-of-print solo release, as well as two new songs heard here for the first time. An 8-song collection of traditional and original holiday songs, American Noel, was pre-released in 2007.

It is out on-sale now officially through Signature Sounds. Tracy Grammer released three albums with Dave Carter during his lifetime. At first, she did instrumental work and provided him backing vocals. Then by their last album together, she sang lead vocals on half of the tracks.

Tracy has issued three solo recordings, some of which have included previously unreleased songs by Carter. Her first solo release, The Verdant Mile (2004), was an independently-produced, seven-song EP.

The Verdant Mile featured Tracy Grammer with Jim Henry in an acoustic, stripped-down setting. It was the most played album on folk radio in December 2004 and garnered Grammer heaping praise from reviewers and fans.

Tracy Grammer's most recent full-length recording is the lush and powerful Flower of Avalon. Released on Signature Sounds in 2005, the album featured the very best of Carter's unrecorded material. Mary Chapin Carpenter has penned the liner notes for the record and says that Tracy's continuing quest to make sure that the world remembers Dave Carter marks a new beginning of artistry for her.

Flower Of Avalon showed up on Best of lists around the country, and was the number-one most-played album on folk radio for 2005. It indeed was a testament to Tracy Grammer's strength as a solo artist, and to the enduring appeal of Carter's songwriting.

Grammer's newest release is Book of Sparrows which appeared in 2007. For featuring songs by Tom Russell, David Francey, Jackson Browne, Dave Carter and Kate Power, the under-the-radar indie release has enjoyed a surprising amount of worldwide airplay and positive press.

The Montreal Gazette hails Tracy Grammer as one of the finest interpretive artists on the contemporary folk scene. Tom Russell seems to concur, saying that her version of Carters song, Blue Wing, is his favorite. Jim Henry, long-time collaborator, is Grammer's co-producer on this recording and contributes beautiful dobro, electric guitar, and harmony parts.

Nine of the songs were previously recorded by Dave Carter for his 1995 solo release, Snake Handlin' Man. In December 2001, these songs were re-released along with two new Dave Carter songs, Seven Is the Number and Gas Station Girl. Unlike the duo's previous two albums, Tracy Grammer has not sung lead vocals on any of the songs.
