~ Lee Roy Parnell ~
The stories that this man tells are unequivocally unmatched in subject and delivery. To list his history would take up volumes, but an attempt must be made. Texas born and raised, Lee Roy grew up in a different world from the rest of us. His father, a touring compatriot of Bob Wills, introduced Lee Roy to the guitar and performance at an early age. It wasn't about taking lessons, and going off to study hours of music theory--it was about sneaking into bars to see guitar greats, and finding any way to make it onto their tour bus. It was about performing at school dances and learning whatever you could from whatever records you could find. After some time, Lee Roy packed up his original '56 Les Paul Goldtop and high-tailed it to Austin where he continued to grow as an eclectic songwriter and guitar place. After a stint in New York City Lee Roy ultimately found himself in Nashville where he signed with Arista Records, releasing hit after hit of Deltablues road-house rockin' southern boogie with a country twang for fans around the world. As of late Lee Roy has gotten his foot into the door to the house of music publishing, as well as recently releasing his own signature '56 Goldtop with the Gibson Custom Shop. His list of credentials could continue on for pages and pages, so Lee Roy if you read this please forgive the quick recap of your invaluable life!

Thanks so much for sharing this. Jack is one of those once-in-a-generation talent that emerges like Wes or Benson. He deserves to be known and heard.
Jack is an incredibly nice and humble guy too! He what guitar hero’s should be.
What a wonderful story! I've only recently discovered Jack Pearson and man, that guy can play like anything and he seems like the nicest guy too.
Same here. I just found out about him about a year. Amazing guitarist!
I just heard a clip with Jack and TTB and holy Christmas I never knew he could sing BUT he was out shining Susan, singing higher than she was in REGULAR VOICE! And then he goes on to play a solo with Coltrane lines . He's a dangerous person to let sit-in. You might as well just sit down and let him take over for a few tunes. You go, Jack!
Jack is phenomenal
Jack is the greatest guitar player in whatever direction he chooses. Incredible
I only recently came across Jack Pearson and he is an awesome guitar player. Great story 👍🏻
Jack Pearson is one of the greatest, fantastic slide player
Jack Pearson - the Guitar players guitar player! That guy can play almost anything it seems, AND he sings like a bird - how much more can one man do?!?
Just watched Marty Schwartz's "Guitar Tours" clip (my favorite can't sleep series) with Jack and loved it. Never heard of the guy before.
And he has an amazing singing voice too - understated but that’s to fool the light weight listener. He drags Soul and True up from the past & gives you it again coz you miss it but he also presents Soul and True from the now and we certainly need that now.
Incredible story!!
Jack is my favorite player, famous or not!
That bar was called Gabbys, I was there, and was there often while they were :-)
Wow great story- thanks for this.
I'm lost here. Jack Pearson's older than Lee Roy, so who's the 17 year old kid?
Jack seems to be the nicest person , at least what I’ve seen
Warm endorse.
Jack is phenomenal
