While the words “country” and “legend” may be interchangeably used to describe scores of twang-laden singers heard over radio waves during the decades, many fans of the fiddle or steel guitar will tell you the artists of the 1950s and ‘60s popularized the genre.
One of country’s true legends from this era, “Little” Joe Carson, may have been lost to history after his untimely death at just 27 in 1964, but his son, Randy, is working to change that through the Randy Carson Band.
While Carson, who now calls Boerne home, was born shortly before his father’s death, leaving him little in the way of memorable interaction, he grew up learning about his father through the speaker and television, even teaching himself to play guitar every night on the very instrument his father strummed.
