Roman Carter has performed for over 5 decades both solo and with his siblings the Carter Brothers and he's shared the stage with many other legendary performers.
Originally hailing from Garland, Alabama then settling in Pacoima, CA, Roman Carter (lead vocals, bass), Albert Carter (guitar), and Jerry Carter (vocals, piano) played a stripped down, no-frills brand of energetic electric blues that jumped back and forth over the thin line between soul and blues.
Between 1959 and 1968, they cut 10 singles for the tiny L.A. based Coleman label. Their single “Southern Country Boy” became a national hit in 1965, peaking at number 21 on the national Billboard's top Selling R&B singles chart. Roman has recently been awarded *Best Male Blues Vocalist* at the Fifth Annual Real Blues Awards, sponsored by Real Blues Magazine.
On this release, Roman Carter has teamed with veteran producer/composer Tom Rothrock (R.L. Burnside, Beck, James Blunt) to create a unique collaboration entitled, ROMAN CARTER: ‘NEVER SLOW DOWN’ on the Bong Load Custom Records label and available on eMusic, Napster, Rhapsody, AmazonMP3 and
