Big Lucky Carter - B2 - You Better Mind

Big Lucky Carter (from AllMusic): b. Levester Carter, 1920, Weir, Mississippi, USA, d. 24 December 2002, Memphis, Tennessee. Although he had played spirituals on his grandmother’s piano, Carter did not take up the guitar until he was serving in the Pacific during World War II. When he returned to Mississippi, he took instruction from local musicians James Henry and Big Boy Anderson. In 1949, he joined a band that also featured pianist Ford Nelson. In Memphis the following year he joined his cousin, saxophonist Ed Kirby (who worked as Prince Gabe), in his band the Rhythmaires. He remained with the band (its name having been changed to the Millionaires) for eight years. In January 1957 they recorded a session for Sun Records under his cousin’s real name, from which some titles were issued during the 70s. Carter led his own band during the 60s but continued to record with Kirby for Savoy, Westside and Bandstand USA. In 1969 he made two singles for Willie Mitchell’s M.O.C. label, one of which, ‘Goofer Dust’, is regarded as his principal achievement, and on which he was backed by members of Al Green’s band, including guitarist Mabon ‘Teenie’ Hodges. These and two further titles were issued on River Town Blues two years later. Although he continued to write and perform, nothing was heard from Carter until his appearance at the 1993 Burnley Blues Festival. His debut album finally appeared on the Blueside label in 1999. Big Amos Patton by Bruce Eder (from AllMusic) Big Amos Patton came to music with one of the more extraordinary pedigrees a man could have, as a nephew of Charley Patton himself. Born in 1921 in Sardis, MS, he grew up along with the blues as a recorded medium, and his own style was heavily influenced by that of Rice Miller, aka Sonny Boy Williamson II. He moved to West Memphis, AR, after serving in World War II, mostly working with Joe Willie Wilkins, doing radio shows and playing local juke joints. During the early '60s, Patton started shopping around a song he'd written called "He Won't Bite Me Twice," which he intended to record himself. After turning down the offer of a publishing deal from Stax Records (who apparently wanted the song for Albert King), he ended up at Hi Records for five years, recording intermittently and performing all over his section of the South, and was good enough to rate a spot in one installment of the mid-'60s television soul showcase The !!!! Beat (host/creator Hoss Allen must've loved his work). "He Won't Bite Me Twice" ended up being as close to a signature tune as Patton ever had, but he was never heard from again on record following its inclusion on a Hi anthology album in the mid-'70s
