“A great way to live…a tragic way to die” Thanks, Earl Nightingale. Reminds me of those drivers ed. films that scare you straight. I think the fatal mistake was breaking out the accoustic guitar and singing the complete Air Supply songbook. That just pissed God off.

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.

“Color Blind” is a straightforward slice of Texas blues-rock. Out of place on International Artists, the psych label of The Thirteenth Floor Elevators, etc. but a surprisingly hidden gem of roadhouse rock from the late sixties.
