- In this episode, Lee Roy Parnell talks about the influence of Bob Wills, Muddy Water’s signature vibrato, the corruption caused by learning passing chords, Duane Allman’s killer licks, and Robert Johnson’s deal with the Devil (or possibly with a guitarist from south Alabama named “Zeke”).
These sessions help keep the music alive by helping the Songbirds Foundation raise money to buy guitars for kids…check out our website to find out more- songbirdsfoundation.org.
Lee Roy also plays several beautiful Goldtops-his own and a 1958 Gibson Les Paul that is on display at the Songbirds Guitar Museum in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Such soulful blues slide that only Leroy Parnell can deliver. He inspired me👍🎸 THANX for the post!!!
Leroy tears it up! What a great video! What a great guy paying tribute too and being grateful for all the influence from all those great players! So many more too! Slide is Bitchin'!!!!!
Lee Roy is one heck of a player.
His his vibrato screams Delta.. That Todd Sharp and the Gold Top are blues rock heaven under Lee Roy's control.
Lee Roy is an underrated vocalist and guitarist. But his knowledge on everything in this video left my jaw dropping.... he deserves more credit then what he already has
Lee Roy is absolutely one of the best…a triple threat..vocals,guitar and slide…much love for LRP!
He is a hugely underated guitarist singer. And songwriter.
Just a country artist? Listening and playing what moves him. Moves me too. Wonderful.
Nice. Good to hear someone open up that Todd Sharp amp. 😌
Mark he blew the roof off. First person out of over 100 interviews to crank the JOAT 20. Todd does an amazing job with those amps and they are built for players like Lee Roy!
Seen him a few times. Awesome Slide Man .
I also was in high school when the Allman's came out. It was so huge a fellow guitar player, also 16, ran away from home (Bloomington MN) to try and join the Allman Bros; We laugh hard about it today.
I honestly had no idea Little Walter played guitar. Does anyone have info on what tracks he played guitar on?
Honeybee comes to mind
Just got my LRP Ron Ellis pickup set. Took a long time.
Great artist. Maybe a better story teller. I could listen all day.
Yep, the early Muddy stuff is right on. Also,he went back to the original foundation just like Muddy did. Ya can’t go wrong doin that.
My Dad saw Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys many times in Texas at the end of WWII - when he was in the Army. I learned the Blues from early Bob Wills albums.
I think he is talking about Ike Zimmerman.
Does anyone know the song that’s he’s playing when he’s talking about passing chords? Sad and blue? I can’t find it anywhere
Yes! I've searched everywhere and cannot find a thing...
Did you ever find out? My best guess is "Would You Ever Think of Me" by the Golden Melody Boys, but I haven't been able to confirm.
That’s a huge slide.
Music needs two thing ... Contrast and feeling or "soul" ... And NEVER doubt the devil and his "soul" stealing ... I mean, how do you think the Rolling Stones kept going all this time? Hello? Even through disco?
Here's a wee thought Eddie James taught Robert how to play, and there's a wee bit bottle neck in death letter blues that Duane and Derek expanded and Layla took off and is still strong.
That goldtop is co clean.
Big fan from coleman county
Anyone know the song he plays around 2:32?
Tone...touch...and leroy....😊
Did this guy play in Black Oak Arkansas
What was the name of the first song he played? The one he said it was the first one he learned
