Carol Hunter: The Next Voice You Hear

New York guitarist and singer Carol Hunter was a member of Neil Diamond's touring and recording band in the beginning of the 1970s. She recorded her debut album The Next Voice You Hear in LA in 1971-72 for the UK heavyrock-band Deep Purple's label Purple Records, a UK-only release in 1973. The album includes a hard-hitting version of The Band's "Look Out Cleveland".

Hunter continued to record for Diamond and other artists as a session guitarist, working for Bob Dylan amongst others. She turned down Dylan's request to join his touring band for "The Rolling Thunder Revue" in 1975-76, with the guitarist role offered to Hunter later being filled by Mick Ronson.
