He wrote hundreds of songs covering a wide range of themes, including traditional country western, cowboy, folk, and hobo songs. His recordings of "Blue Canadian Rockies" and "You Are My Sunshine" are among the most popular. Some believe that Carter wrote the popular American Christmas carol, "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas". Fellow Canadian country artist Ian Tyson considers Carter an influence on his music.
