so, A Guy Walks Into A Studio - part 1
i think it was in 2013. I was setting at my desk in my studios (Haggard Studios in Raleigh NC) doing some audio mixing work, when this guy walks into the studios. Since I was not expecting anyone at that time I jumped up to see who the hell it was.
The person introduced himself as a guitarist who had recently moved from Muscle Schoals Alabama to the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina, and that his name was Pete Carr.
So, I showed him around the studios and we talked a little. Pete was very laid back and mellow, and i enjoyed chatting with him.
After a while, we ran out of small talk and Pete said he had others things to do, so we shook hands and he left.
After he left, I looked Pete up on google. Holy freaking moly! I had no idea who I had just met. Pete was a lot more than a guy who had moved from Muscle Shoals to Raleigh/Durham and played guitar.
Pete Carr is one of the greatest session guitarists of all time. Pete is credited with playing guitar on some of the greatest hit music with artists that include:
Joan Baez, Luther Ingram, Bob Seger, Joe Cocker, Boz Scaggs, Paul Simon, The Staple Singers, Rod Stewart, Barbra Streisand, Wilson Pickett, Hank Williams, Jr., and many more
But, you know what? The most amazing thing about Pete Carr was not his list of credits and accomplishents as a guitarist, engineer and producer. The most amazing thing about Pete was that he is a down to earth, laid back and mellow guy. Pete Carr is one of the cool people, one of the coolest you will ever meet.
