His family encouraged his interest in music at an early age and provided funding for singing lessons when Bill was in his teens. Local radio stations presented him before he joined the US Air Force in 1949. During his military service in California he formed his first C\u0026amp;W bands and performed in the San Francisco area and even at a radio station in San Antonio, Texas.After completing his military service in 1953 Carter joined Jim DeNoone's country band as a singer and performed at the 'California Hayride' in San Francisco. In the same year, Bill Carter was the vocalist on the band's recording sessions for Gilt-Edge Records. Finally, he formed his own trio, with whom he worked regularly over the next five years, pursuing the goal of becoming known beyond the local area. Between 1956 and 1961, Carter recorded under his own name for small and medium-sized labels such as 4-Star, Republic, Tally, Black Jack, Honey B, 'D', Rural Rhythm and Ozark. The up-tempo number 'I Wanna Feel Good', produced for Tally in Bakersfield, California in 1957, became his biggest hit and opened the doors to the 'Louisiana Hayride' and the 'Grand Ole Opry'. Finally, in 1959 he ventured into Rockabilly and recorded 'Cool Tom Cat'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCool Tom Cat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wanna Feel Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Ain't Got My Address\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJailer Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShot Four Times and Dy'in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Woman's Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby Brother\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Used to Love You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRamblin' Fever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Monkey Round My Widder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecret Date\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCool Tom Cat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wanna Feel Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Ain't Got My Address\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJailer Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShot Four Times and Dy'in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Woman's Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby Brother\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Used to Love You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRamblin' Fever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Monkey Round My Widder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecret Date\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of My Heart Is Missing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Knew Her When\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeavin' Town\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou've Heard About Texas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFroggy Went a -Rockin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLivin' for Your Lovin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Smoke and Blue Tears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Want a True Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Only Wish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove and Money\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5397102140105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bear Family\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.19.21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bill Carter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291816923217,"sku":"232872","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/3896036-2656054.jpg?v=1760734858","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/cool-tom-cat-10in-bonus-cd-with-booklet","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
