He also filled in and did all the guitar work on Eden's 1994 album "Fan The Flame". In Whitecross, he not only appeared as the lead guitarist, but also served as songwriter and producer for six U.S. and world tours. Whitecross won two Dove Awards for "Hard Music Album of the Year" in 1990 and 1992.
Carroll has recorded numerous sound libraries, many of which have been picked up for use by ESPN for their NFL highlights, as well as Season One of the Anna Nicole Smith Show. His playing has been heard on commercials for the Milwaukee Bucks, and he was recently a soloist featured at the Harley-Davidson 100th anniversary celebration. In June 2004 he place third in the North American Rock Guitar Competition sponsored by Guitar Player magazine and WNED/New York. Carroll holds a Bachelors degree in classical guitar performance from Northern Illinois University.
In 2010, Rex participated in a tribute album titled Mister Bolin’s Late Night Revival, a compilation of 17 previously unreleased tracks written by guitar legend Tommy Bolin prior to his death in 1976. The CD includes other artists such as HiFi Superstar, Doogie White, Eric Martin, Troy Luccketta, Jeff Pilson, Randy Jackson, Rachel Barton, Derek St. Holmes, Kimberley Dahme, and The 77’s. A percentage of the proceeds from this project will benefit the Jackson Recovery Centers.
