The Fabulous Roy Lanham. Sims Records. (1962)

Although known primarily as guitarist for The Sons of the Pioneers from 1961 through 1986, Roy worked with a group called BROWN’S FERRY FOUR with him, Red Foley, Grandpa Jones and Merle Travis. Roy formed his own group called THE WHIPPOORWILLS and went on the road with Gene Austin for several years. Then a long stretch with Roy Rogers, and last but not least he played four years with Sweet Georgia Brown.

This is Roy’s second album, if you like guitar you will love this one. Roy is one of the greatest guitar men in the business, and with the help of these fabulous musicians like Red Wooten on bass, Dusty Rhoads on rhythm guitar and Muddy Berry on drums, makes Roy shine even more.

    Roy was one of THE best country/jazz/rockabilly pickers. He could do it all. Look for the Oldie and Goodies Country and Western Vol. 3 budget LP on Crown (5421). These are cuts from Sand & Sage label 45s.

    He backs Jimmy Patton, Wally & Don, Whitey Pullen and others but the crown (heh) jewel is his group The Rovers doing an instrumental, “Passport to Summer” that will drop your jaw.

    Despite his now-strange appearance, Roy was a very hot guitar player.
