This melody aswell as the relatively threatening “Don’t Convert Your Back again on Me” had been released beneath the name from the Eddie Carter Quartet; in a few discographies aswell as reissue records this shows up as Eddie Carter Quintet, regardless of the existence of just four musicians. Remaining to their personal devices, these music artists dispensed using the keeping track of and utilized a different combo name completely, the Carter-Rays.

Under whatever name, the Carter combo smelled such as this guitarist’s sweetest documenting opportunity. He will not seem to have done any more commercially released function aside from the Carter-Rays’ 1st 1954 program for the Grand label, a demonstration program for MGM monitored at the traditional Reco-Art Sound, and lastly, the completed MGM edges themselves, which were included on early rock and roll & move compilations at least 3 x.
