As nearly 600 JC students graduate on Friday, May 3, Eli Carter\u2019s first country song, \u201cThese White Lines\u201d will hit the airwaves. The 20-year-old Collins native has been singing and songwriting since he was a teenager and he is on the verge of launching a career in songwriting, with the hope of a career performing in Nashville too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a pretty wild day!\u201d said Carter. \u201cI felt like I had to have something before I left Jones, so some friends helped me out. Daniel Baldwin played piano and sang harmony, along with Matt Taylor. We knocked it out in two nights and sent it to Matt McGuffie, our instructor and audio engineer in the Free State of Jones Recording studio on campus. He added the lead guitar to the track, fixed and mastered it in three hours and put it in distribution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/eli-carter-and-bruce-all-smiles-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/eli-carter-and-bruce-all-smiles-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/eli-carter-and-bruce-all-smiles-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/eli-carter-and-bruce-all-smiles-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/eli-carter-and-bruce-all-smiles-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/eli-carter-and-bruce-all-smiles-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The song, \u201cThese White Lines\u201d could be interpreted a couple of ways, according to Carter. However, his intent was that everybody has moments of desperation, and everyone has these times of hopelessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s kind of what the song leads with, \u2018God if you can hear me now, I\u2019m not begging for a miracle.\u2019 You\u2019re crying out for anything, something to help,\u201d said Carter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B95 Country radio station\u2019s morning DJ, Grey Manning, loved the opportunity to be the first radio station to debut the song on Tuesday, April 30, at 8 a.m., before its official release on May 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"717\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ws-grey-eli-and-bruce5-1024x717.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ws-grey-eli-and-bruce5-1024x717.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ws-grey-eli-and-bruce5-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ws-grey-eli-and-bruce5-768x537.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ws-grey-eli-and-bruce5-1536x1075.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ws-grey-eli-and-bruce5-2048x1433.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think this is awesome to have a new artist that is local, that has a new song coming out, that\u2019s one of the coolest things about radio. When you can play a song before anyone has heard it or before anybody else can buy it or play it. It\u2019s pretty cool!\u201d Manning said excitedly. \u201cThis song could be interpreted in a few different ways and that\u2019s what makes it an incredible song.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carter shared that singer songwriters like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Tyler Childers, and Jason Isbell have all influenced his, American traditional country style of music. Nonetheless, his favorite is Isbell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJason Isabell\u2019s writing is insane. I like to say I write bad Jason Isbell songs because I\u2019m trying to imitate his writing but it kind of turns into my writing,\u201d said Carter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Eli Carter has been performing live locally for the last year, his debut singing and playing the guitar was at the Okatoma Festival last May. He will return to Collins on Saturday, May 4, for another performance on the Okatoma stage at 4:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. His first song, \u201cThese White Lines\u201d will be available on Spotify, Pandora, iTunes and just about anywhere you can stream music on Friday, May 3, 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ELLISVILLE \u2013 He\u2019s a country singer, musician and songwriter and he\u2019s about to graduate from 糖心直播 with something maybe a little better than his associate&#8217;s degree in Music Industry &amp; Recording Arts.
