Carol Hunter (April 19, 1946 – July 26, 2018) was an American guitarist and vocalist notable for her work with Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, Richie Havens, Janis Ian and others.
Hunter was a self-taught guitarist who began learning the instrument in her teens after receiving her first guitar at age 13.
Hunter was recorded as part of the Music From Free Creek supersession album in 1969, appearing with Keith Emerson, Buzz Feiten and others.
Hunter returned to her role as a studio guitarist and singer, including recording with Bob Dylan on the soundtrack for the movie Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid.
