God has kept his hand up over me and for this and many other things I am thankful. I write songs for myself and others. I have a voice that people say sounds like "John Denver". I have felt like I have been held back in my songwriting by some associations I have belonged to and now I feel I can blossom. I write all genres and styles of music.....as a friend once told me: "you can't keep a butterfly in a box". I love to record and also to perform live. I own my own recording studio in Farmer City, Il called "Laughing Mouse Studio". Currently I play with a gospel band, The Clementine Band and also perform alone. My roots are in Rock and Country....sort of a weird combination but, have found Christian and Country Christian Music more to my liking. In the last 5 years I have recorded 5 Cd's, the 4th of which is called "Sang'reel" which is French meaning "Holy Blood"
The most recent Compact Disc is called IXOYE- The Journey. It is a rock opera, the story of one man's journey tho the Savior. Butch Watkins of Sharecropper Internet Radio had this to say when he reviewed the CD:
TEE CARLSON - The Journey
Tee Carlson takes us on a journey with his newest release,
' The Journey '. He takes us from wretched sinner to redeemed soul
trapped in a mortal, sinful body.
Tee Carlson's music can be best described as 'a working man's'
music. Straight forward playing (i.e. guitar,bass,drums,keyboards),
with a clear no-nonsense production. His songs are laced with tender
mercies as well as ' hard as steel ' truths. From the opening,
'Overture' ( bagpipes are always a cool way to start off an album ),
to the shuffling 'Maxwell Street', you will hear a story of a man lost
in sin in need of a living savior. 'Pacing The Cage', 'The Storm
Within', and 'Thank God' take us to through the redemption process.
From that point on, it's nothing but 'glory, glory, glory' for the
songs that follow.
This project shows off Tee's writing and musicianship. It's one
thing to write a song, but it's another thing to take that song and
create a finished product to give to the world. Tee has excelled at
this on this album.
This is a must have album for anyone on 'the journey'.
