Country Music Artist Jeff Carson Passes at Age of 58

Country music singer Jeff Carson passed away from a heart attack, Saturday March 26th 2022, at the age of 58.

Jeff accomplished two of his career passions in his life – one in music, one in law enforcement.

Born Jeffrey Lee Herndon in Tulsa Oklahoma on December 16th 1963, performing music came early as Jeff got his start singing in church. His path then took him from Arkansas to Missouri, and then finally landing in Tennessee.

While performing around town, Jeff got noticed as a demo singer, cutting tracks that would go on to be be recorded by Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Tracy Byrd, Faith Hill, and Diamond Rio among others.

Jeff released his self-titled debut album in 1995 which included the number-one hit “Not On Your Love,” the ACM Video Of The Year winning “The Car,” and fan favorites “Yeah Buddy,” and “That Last Mile.”

In 2009, Carson retired from music to become a law enforcement officer with Franklin Police Department in Williamson County, Tennessee.

Carson returned to music in 2019, most recently he had been in the studio with Buddy Hyatt recording a specialty album to be released later this year that included duets with Michael Ray, Darryl Worley, Mark Wills, and Craig Morgan.

Jeff Carson is survived by his wife, son, mother, brother, sister, as well as aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.
