Bill Carter was born in 1929 in Eagleton, Arkansas, moved with his family to Oklahoma in 1937 and six years later to Indio, California. His family encouraged the teenager's interest in music and paid for his singing lessons. Before joining the U.S. Air Force in 1949, he had already performed on several local radio stations. During his military service in California, he formed his first C\u0026amp;W bands and performed in the San Francisco area and at a radio station in San Antonio, Texas. After completing his military service in 1953, Carter joined Jim DeNoone's country band as a vocalist and performed at the 'California Hayride' in San Francisco and elsewhere. The band's recordings for Gilt-Edge Records, produced that same year, feature Bill Carter as a singer for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 A Woman's Way \u003cbr\u003e1.2 A Story Book Affair \u003cbr\u003e1.3 I Couldn't Keep from Crying \u003cbr\u003e1.4 That's Me Without You \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Mexican Joe \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Honeymoon on a Rocket Ship \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Big Jim Boogie \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Honeycut Stomp \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Wednesday Night Swing \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Wild Strings \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Long Lost Girl \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Making Believe \u003cbr\u003e1.13 More Than a Man Can Stand \u003cbr\u003e1.14 You Ain't Got My Address \u003cbr\u003e1.15 By the Sweat of My Brow \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Mama Loves Papa (And Papa Loves the Women) \u003cbr\u003e1.17 I Wanna Feel Good \u003cbr\u003e1.18 I Knew Her When \u003cbr\u003e1.19 I Used to Love Her \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Too Used to Being with You \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Baby Brother \u003cbr\u003e1.22 Ride Gunman, Ride \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Ramblin' Fever \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Half Hour Til Sundown \u003cbr\u003e1.25 Stowaway \u003cbr\u003e1.26 Seven Years \u003cbr\u003e1.27 When God Dips His Love in My Heart \u003cbr\u003e1.28 Amazing Grace \u003cbr\u003e1.29 This World Is Not My Home \u003cbr\u003e1.30 Where We Never Grow Old \u003cbr\u003e1.31 Cool Tom Cat (Unedited Tape Fragment) \u003cbr\u003e1.32 Secret Date (Unedited Version) \u003cbr\u003e1.33 Secret Date \u003cbr\u003e2.1 Cool Tom Cat \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Jailer Man (Unedited) \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Jailer Man \u003cbr\u003e2.4 Jailer Man (Alt.
