Don Carroll Blues Organ
The year was 1952. I met the greatest friend I ever had, and from that
moment on we became brothers. We are brothers in life and brothers in
music. In 1958 our musical journey began on the north side of Houston
playing rock & roll and rhythm & blues. The north side of Houston has
produced many great and famous players, but in my opinion, none as
talented or as diversified as Don Carroll. Here we are in the year 2008
and we are still playing our music together, and Don Carroll still amazes
me with his talent and the energy he puts into his music. When you listen
to this CD you will discover one of the most versatile, talented and under
rated musicians of our time. Don has the talent and ability to be
spotlighted 'center stage' and be the star, but he never complains and he
loves being one of the 'guys in the band'. We were two young boys who
decided to make music our lives and after fifty years together music is
still our lives. Don and I wrote every song on this CD and after you listen
to it you will understand why I praise and admire Don's musical talent.
Ladies and gentlemen I proudly introduce to you Don Carroll.
