Norwood Carter's country roots began in Hamburg, Arkansas, where at the age of twelve, he started the singing of old Hank Williams songs. He later joined local groups playing at fairs, rodeos, and jamborees in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Relocating his country sound to Nebraska In 1965, Norwood expanded his music territory to include Kansas and Missouri. The year, 1971 brought him back to Mississippi, near Memphis, Tennessee, where he continued his music career. Moving to Lewisburg, Tennessee in 1973 brought him closer to Nashville, the capitol of country music.
