Chanteur Country US né Jeffrey Lee Carson, le 16 Décembre 1963 à Tulsa
(Oklahoma).
Jeff
Carson was one of the new country singers who was able to parlay the mass
success of country music in the early '90s to a massive hit with his eponymous
first album.
Carson was born in Tulsa, OK, but raised in the small Arkansas town of Gravette.
As a child, he sang in church and played harmonica and guitar. While he was in
high school, he and his friends formed a band to play their school's talent
show, performing the Eagles' "Seven
Bridges Road." After the ad hoc group won second place, Carson was convinced to
pursue a musical career. Following his high-school graduation, he entered a
talent contest at an entertainment complex called Ozark Mountain Music in
Rogers, AR. Although he didn't come in first, the winner asked Carson to play in
his house band. For the next four years, he played with the outfit, until they
finally disbanded.
Carson moved to Branson, MO, where he played bass in local bands and started
writing his own songs. In Branson, he met and married his wife, Kim Cooper, who
encouraged him to move to Nashville. Kim had a friend who played at the Opryland
Hotel and his group Texana needed a bassist — hence, Carson moved to Music City
in 1989. After some persuasion, he convinced the hotel to book him as a solo act.
Around the same time, he signed a songwriting deal with Little Big Town Music
and began singing on demo tapes for a variety of companies. Eventually,
publisher/producer Chuck Howard heard Carson's original material and signed a
publishing and development deal with him. By 1994, Jeff had signed with Curb
Records.
Jeff Carson's self-titled debut album was released in early 1995; the first
single, "Yeah Buddy," went nowhere, but the second single, "Not on Your Love,"
rocketed to number one. It was followed by the Top Ten hit "The Car."
