Description

Goree Carter and his Hepcats - Rock Awhile
Blues Boy BB-306 Sweden 1983
Sleeve: Excellent
Vinyl  : Excellent

T-Bone Walker inspired a legion of young Texas blues guitarists during the years following World War II with his elegant electrified riffs and fat chords. Among his disciples was Houston's Goree Carter, whose big break came when Solomon Kahal signed him to Houston's Freedom Records circa 1949.

Carter's best-known waxing, "Rock Awhile", emerged not long thereafter, its sizzling opening lick sounding quite a bit like primordial Chuck Berry. Freedom issued plenty of Carter platters over the next few years, and he later recorded for Imperial/Bayou, Sittin' in With, Coral, Jade, and Modern without denting the national charts. Eventually, he left music behind altogether.

Blues Boy was a record label founded by swedish Rhythm & Blues collector and scholar Jonas Bernholm. Other labels founded by the enthusiatic "Mr R&B" includes Route 66, Jukebox Lil, Gospel Friend, Earth Angel, Whiskey Women and..., and Saxophonograph.
