As a youth he participated in organized sports, but his real interest was music. Carlton was raised in a troubled household, which lead to his leaving home at a young age. Finding it difficult to hold a steady job, he began playing guitar, writing songs, and singing in nightclubs.

His troubled past would continue to haunt him, and bouts with severe alcohol abuse frequently landed him in hospitals, leading to chronic stints of homelessness.

In 2004 Millhouse Records released an EP of Carlton’s material entitled “Blame it on the Blues”. His follow up album, "Just This Side of the Blues", showcases 10 of his original songs and was given 3 stars by "All Media Guide" (AMG). His highly acclaimed third album, “Somebody Get Me My Guitar”, also given 3 stars by (AMG), was submitted to the Recording Academy for Grammy Award consideration. "The Way My Daddy Done" was the first single to come off the album reaching #1 on the Cashbox Indie Country Charts in January of 2008. A compilation album of his work was released in 2008 entitled "The Best of Buzz Carlton". In 2022, "Ultimate" surfaced, including the tracks "The Star-Spangled Banner", and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen".
