Country US né le 31 Décembre 1933 à Winnsboro (Louisiane), Fred Carter est le
père de Deana Carter. Il est décédé
le 17 Juillet 2010.
Fred
Carter was a guitarist, singer, producer and composer. Beginning his
professional career in the 1950s, the record charts are replete with his
fingerprints across a number of genres. Though based in Nashville and serving as
one its premier session guitarists, his influence can be heard on recordings as
diverse as Muddy Waters, The Band, Waylon
Jennings, Dottie Rambo, and Simon and Garfunkel. His songs have been
recorded by acts as diverse as Dean Martin and
Chet Atkins.
Carter was reared in the delta country in Winnsboro, the seat of Franklin Parish
in northeastern Louisiana. His first partner in music was another Franklin
Parish native, Allen "Puddler" Harris. Carter grew up with the heavy musical
influences of jazz, country & western, hymns, and blues.These elements fused to
form rock and roll in the 1950s, and Carter was a significant part of this
development. He spent two years with Roy
Orbison during his heyday in the late 1950s. He then worked with
Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks, and was
principal guitarist for Dale Hawkins of "Suzie Q" fame. Carter and Harris also
toured extensively with Conway Twitty
when Twitty was playing rock and roll
instead of country.
Carter settled into the Nashville session scene in the early 1960s, having
become one of its players for the next two decades. His influence was not
confined to Nashville however and
he was a fixture in the folk music genre of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Carter can be heard on a multitude of Simon and Garfunkel classics - most
notably "The Boxer" in which he played four guitars, including the memorable
finger-picking intro and conclusion. He can also be heard playing bass on Bob
Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay" as well as principal guitar with Joan Baez, Neil Young,
The Band and others. Carter was instrumental in bringing these acts to Nashville
to record, helping Nashville's music landscape expand beyond its traditional
boundaries. This influence can be heard on songs such as "The Boxer" which
includes harmonica legend Charlie McCoy
who Carter brought in to be part of the record. Other signature pieces for
Carter include I've Always Been Crazy and Whistlers and Jugglars by
Waylon Jennings.
Production credits for Carter include Levon Helm's American Son album on MCA
Records, and Bobby Bridger's Heal in the Wisdom. He also helped
Dolly Parton and
Tanya Tucker
land their first record deals.
Carter was a principal member of the band Levon Helm and The RCO All-Stars. This
band was composed of Levon Helm, Booker T. and the MG's, Steve Cropper, Donald "Duck"
Dunn, Dr. John, Paul Butterfield, and the NBC Saturday Night Live horns.
Carter did not make the guitar his principal instrument until he was in his
early twenties, having been a lifelong fiddle and mandolin player. Also of note,
it has been widely reported
that Carter was Robbie Robertson's guitar teacher in the early days of touring
with Ronnie Hawkins. Carter was also
scheduled to appear in Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz but
had to decline due to scheduling conflicts. Carter has had small roles in
several movies including The Adventures of Huck Finn starring Elijah Wood.
Carter has received mention in many personal biographies, including Levon Helm's
This Wheel's on Fire and Willie Nelson's
Willie Nelson: An Epic Life. Nelson states in his book that Carter had the
best touch or feel of any musician in Nashville.
Carter's daughter is country music singer
Deana Carter, a CMA award winning
artist..
