Jerry Carrigan (born September 13, 1943) is an American drummer and record producer. He first achieved widespread recognition by being part of the first wave of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and later as a session musician in Nashville, Tennessee for over three decades. He has played with Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Tony Joe White, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dolly Parton and many others (see list below). ==Early years== Carrigan was born in Florence, Alabama. According to his mother,〔http://www.bluegrassjournal.com/2009/02/02/hall-of-fame-honors-session-drummer-jerry-carrigan/〕 Carrigan would abandon new toys as an infant and crawl to the kitchen cabinets to beat on the family’s pots and pans. Later, his father purchased Carrigan a set of drums after the young child had created his own makeshift set, which included an old banjo and brush for a snare; boxes as tom-toms; and old Edison records on sticks as cymbals. He grew up listening to 1950's R&B, including artists such as Fats Domino, Smiley Lewis, Little Richard and Larry Williams, and Country artists such as Hank Garland. Carrigan made his first recording session at age 13, as a member of Little Joe Allen and the Offbeats. In addition to drumming in local bands, Carrigan also played in marching bands throughout high school and college. As a drummer his influences were Buddy Harman and Earl Palmer. Carrigan began college, and while there in February 1964 he backed Tommy Roe for a live concert in Washington, D.C. as the opening act for The Beatles who were playing their first ever American Concert.〔http://www.countrymusichalloffame.com/site/experience-museum-programs-archive-detail.aspx?cid=4004〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jerry Carrigan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
