Carson - Travelling Highway Blues: The Best of Carson (2000)

Australian band Carson's career was relatively short - almost exactly three years, but in that time the "Kings of Boogie" built a reputation as a powerful live act, and they were one of the most popular Australian blues bands of the early 1970s. It was also an important stepping stone for several of its members, including singer Broderick Smith, and the group's original keyboard player John Capek.
The group was originally called The Carson County Band, but they had dropped the "...County Band" part of the name by the end of 1970 because they were being mistakenly tagged as a country rock group, and only their first single came out under that name. They were strongly influenced by Chicago blues, and by the emerging "boogie" style being popularised by bands like Canned Heat and, later, ZZ Top.
This release contains the best of their studio recordings plus four live tracks recorded at the Sunbury festival in 1973. There is also a 1970 bonus A-side from The Meating, which was a collaboration with blues singer Matt Taylor.
