Product Description
Every traveling musician has his or her own stories of the road, and Bill Carter is an enchanting New Mexico songwriter and singer!
These are some of the songs I wrote in my truck.
For Bill Carter, the greatest thrill as a musician is to figure out the most obscure elements of a piece of music and then offer it up to an un suspecting, yet appreciative, audience.
They think they know what they’ll hear when
They see a guy in Levis and a flannel shirt…
And then I surprise ‘em…
In this, his first CD after 20 years of encouragement from local fans, we get to experience that same appreciation.
In Heavens Just a Dance, he explores the passion of a first meeting. Then, he shares the longing of a distant love in Message on the Moon. And just when you think you understand what Bill’s music is all about, you feel the country and Latin influences in Angel in a Coupe de Ville or Don’t Lead Me On – two toe-tapping honky-tonk treats, and the lilting melody and conga beat of Sweet Nadine. But the emotions that haunt the listener – strangely first invoked by the music and then enhanced by the lyric – long after Room with a Window has ended, prove that Bill can “surprise ‘em” with his own compositions.
