Cool Tom Cat

Discover the great rocker from Arkansas in this luxury edition! It includes a 10' vinyl LP and a CD with a large - format booklet. The collection features all his rockers from 1954 to 1961, like the recordings for 4 - Star Records with the Carolina Drifters. The CD comes with bonus tracks by Bill Carter and the Carolina Drifters, plus rockers from Clyde Arnold and Ray Smith on the Indio label. Mark Lee Allen rediscovered Carter, interviewed him multiple times, and wrote the booklet introduction. Bill Carter personally supported this project, and Roland Heinrich penned the detailed liner notes. Born in 1929 in Eagleton, Arkansas, Carter's musical journey took him from Oklahoma to California. His family fostered his music interest early on. After military service, he joined bands, formed his own trio, and recorded for various labels. His hit 'I Wanna Feel Good' opened doors to major shows, and in 1959, he dived into Rockabilly with 'Cool Tom Cat'.

How to use: You can play the vinyl LP on a compatible record player to enjoy the warm, classic sound. Pop the CD into your CD player for convenient listening. The large - format booklet is great to read while listening to learn more about Bill Carter and the music. Just sit back, relax, and let the rockabilly tunes transport you back in time. Note: When handling the vinyl LP, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints on the record, which could affect the sound quality. Be gentle when placing the needle on the record to prevent damage. For the CD, keep it in its case when not in use to avoid scratches. Maintenance: Store the vinyl LP vertically in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. Clean the LP regularly with a proper record cleaning brush. For the CD, use a soft, lint - free cloth to wipe it from the center outwards if it gets dirty.
