Title: Are there any recordings of Bo Carter from the 60s?

I've seen pictures of him from the 60s but I'm curious if he recorded anything before he died

Paul Oliver recorded him in 1960 - three tracks listed in the post war discography :-  Little Pretty Woman, Crazy Blues and an instrumental. Never released as deemed substandard apparently.

Exactly right Tony. Paul Oliver played them to us at Bluesweek. They didn't do Bo justice compared to his pre war recordings. However, it appears he was actively playing up to his death.
