Part of a long line of Texas roots-music eclectics, Lee Roy Parnell's music was
a blend of hardcore honky tonk, barroom rock & roll, blues, boogie, Western
swing, blue-eyed soul, and occasional gospel. Unlike many other
hard-to-pigeonhole artists, Parnell actually enjoyed a run of success on the
country charts in the early '90s. He was born in Abilene, TX, on December 21,
1956, and grew up on his parents' ranch; his father had toured with a
teenage Bob Wills in traveling medicine shows, and his first public
performance came on Wills' radio show at age six. As a teenager, he played
drums in a local band and soon picked up guitar as well, eventually
concentrating on slide playing. He joined Kinky Friedman's Texas Jewboys in
his late teens and moved to Austin in 1974 to join the city's budding music
scene.

Parnell spent over a decade playing clubs in Austin, Houston, and Dallas/Fort
Worth, honing his style and songwriting; he also married and held down a day
job in radio. He moved to Nashville in 1987 and quickly landed a publishing
contract and a regular spot at the famed Bluebird Café. He signed to Arista's
Nashville division in 1989 and the next year released his self-titled debut
album, a collection of horn-driven country-soul. It received good reviews but
didn't break him commercially; that would happen with 1992's Love Without
Mercy, which mostly dispensed with the horns and emphasized Parnell's slide
guitar. "What Kind of Fool Do You Think I Am" and "Tender Moment" both
went to number two on the country charts, and the title track also made the
Top Ten. 1993's On the Road produced two more Top Tens in its title track
and "I'm Holding My Own," and his duet with Ronnie Dunn (of Brooks & Dunn)
on Hank Williams' "Take These Chains From My Heart" made the Top 20.
1995's We All Get Lucky Sometimes found Parnell tailoring his sound to
country radio a bit more and featured duets with Trisha Yearwood, Mary
Chapin Carpenter, and Tex-Mex accordionist Flaco Jimenez. It also spawned
two Top Five hits in "A Little Bit of You" and "Heart's Desire." However, 1997's
commercially disappointing Every Night's a Saturday Night proved to be
Parnell's last new album for Arista, which issued the compilation Hits and
Highways Ahead in 1999 to coincide with his departure. Parnell next wound
up on the rootsy Vanguard label, debuting for them with 2001's Tell the
Truth. He returned to the studio in 2006 with Back to the Well.
