Buckshot & The Barnstormers Full Throttle CD

He trained in classical music in high school, and won numerous awards in New York state.

By age 19, he became disillusioned with the classical world, and went on to form his own band, playing country, blues, and r&b.

Always a step away from stardom, his band New Hope, released a single which lead to a tour of the U.S.After the break-up of that band, he formed The Bill Strecker Band, and while playing gigs in Florida, met his wife Peggy.

The two decided to head to London and do some recording on their own.

His Mother, Pearline Carr was a regular and active member of the Original Church of God on 14th and Phillip St. in Nashville, Tenn. This cd is dedicated to her, his aunt Charles Etta who resides in Euclid, Ohio and, who is 93 years old, and to his wife Rose Marie Carr. All these women are women of prayer. Even though his Mother passed away in 1955 when Bob was 15 years old, her prayers have followed him all the days of his life. This cd is to encourage all mothers who are praying for their lost or troubled children to keep on praying. God is faithful and will answer your prayers even if you are not here on this earth to see them answered.

He came to L.A. in 1972 to pursue a musical career as asongwriter/artist. In 1978 He started a group called Image,a self contained group of 10 people. At that time, he wasthe sole songwriter for the group of 4 singers and 6 muscians.

This group performed several showcases at such places as the Improve and Troubador clubs in L.A. The group came very close to signing a record deal but because of internal problems that couldn't be resolved, the group disbanded in 1979.

Disenchanted with the entire music scene, Bob Carr returnedto the business world working for an Accounting firm.

However songwriting was in his blood and so was the love ofthe Lord, Jesus Christ. After almost dying from kidney failure in 1997, Bob made the decision to submit and committo the will of God and write only Gospel music. God not only spared his life with a new kidney, but he inspired himto write these inspiring songs on this CD. Since this is Bob's debut CD at the age of 67, it is even more proof that God can use anyone at anytime if they will only allow him to. It is Bob's fervent prayer that two more powerful CD's will be forthcoming in the very near future. In fact, he has already begun recording songs for the second CD that will be called "LET'S PRAISE HIM." Please keep tuned in to this web-site. God is doing some powerful and wonderful things thru the music he has inspired Bob Carr to write. This is God's music, for his glory and for his praise.
