Description

America is a nation of individuals free to express themselves and voice their opinions. The late 50's and early 60's was the beginning of young America starting their personal record collections, which continues on today. Referred to as "my music," each individual, not realizing, has kept a diary of themselves in the form of music - how they laughed, cried, fell in love, good and bad times, all related to the words and music in their songs. This was all made possible by the creators of their music....The Songwriters.

Wayne Carson is probably represented in every popular music collection in the world. Recently voted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame is testimony by his peers that he truly deserved to be placed in the KING ROW among all past and present creators of song.

His music started in the 60's and continues on today. Asked why he started writing songs, his answer was basically the same as most great writers, he had the need to express himself to all that would listen. The same has always been for poets, artists, architects, scientists, astronauts. They feel a need to do these things. Good or bad, the money has never been one of the reasons.

Wayne Carson has devoted a large part of himself to helping other songwriters who show the desire, potential, (talent) to create music and gives seminars at colleges on songwriting and plans to increase this area of his time. As he explains, the world will never stop searching for a new way to say I LOVE YOU.

Wayne is a great entertainer and musician as you would expect...drums, piano, guitar, bass, a studio engineer, and producer. His recreation is golf, fishing, and helping others. He has no enemies.

Now we enter the facts of his achievements and the only area that Wayne becomes modest about. He has composed 20 number one records, 5 platinum albums and a couple hundred album pieces. He also has 2 Grammys and in doing all of this he has truly become a spokesman for all people.

There are "music makers" and then there are "Makers Of Music". Composer - Songwriter Wayne Carson, has proven himself to be one of that rare breed known as a "Maker of Music". His songs have sold in excess of 75 million records and have been recorded by a list of artists that read like a Who's Who of the recording industry. Wayne has written such American classics as "The Letter" and "Always On My Mind". Equally at home with rock-n-roll, country, or rhythm and blues, his music has successfully crossed all boundaries throughout the world.

On his solo album entitled "Writer" - Wayne Carson shows the listener how the songwriter heard these classic songs originally. Long before the rest of the world would have a chance to call these songs their own - they were his. And he caresses each song with the tender touch of a lover who knows the feeling before the touch. It is hard to differentiate between the singer and the song - for they are one and the same. Whether you call it rock, Memphis R&B, or country - it is music in it's purest form. This is what it's all about.
