#30 I'm Holding My Own - with Lee Roy Parnell
Welcome back to Behind the Shedd!  In episode 30, Harold, Russ, and Wade sit down with one of the greats, Lee Roy Parnell.  Leroy is not only a great songwriter, great guitarist, great performer, and great artist, but just a great guy to hang out with.   What a treat this was, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Lee Roy Parnell:Bio:Regarded as one of the world's preeminent slide guitar virtuosos, Lee Roy Parnell has become synonymous with the instrument and the music that has shaped his life from his youngest years.Born in Abilene, Texas to Roy and Anna Belle Parnell in the winter of 1956, Parnell was raised with an uncompromising work ethic, a healthy respect for tradition, and an unquenchable love of music. Nurtured by everything from the Grand Ol' Opry, to Cotton-country Blues, Hardshell Gospel and the inescapable sound of Bob Wills and Roadhouse Boogie that permeated the North Central Texas plains, that love grew into a passion before Parnell reached his early teens."It sounds a little like a press-release," he said recently, "but the truth is I was raised in a house filled with music. It was as much a part of the soundtrack of youth as my mother's voice and my Daddy's lessons. It was sustenance to me...like water. And it was my way out of Texas. It was my map."In the summer of seventy-four, he set out for the only destination on that map that made sense: Nashville.For nearly twenty years, Parnell paid his dues in every honky-tonk and blues bar from Nashville to Austin and back, honing his craft, sharpening his vocal chops, and fine-tuning the blues-infused slide-guitar style that would become his signature.​"I'm a blue-eyed country soul singer and slide guitar player by trade...that's how I see it," Parnell told a Texas journalist late in 2014. "And I'm privileged to practice a trade that's brought so many blessings to my life."Blessings that include eight critically-acclaimed albums, and a string of hits that established him as one of Country Music's most gifted triple-threats; as a singer, a writer, and virtuoso guitarist. Talents that brought him nomination nods from the Grammy Awards, the Country Music Association, the Academy of Country Music, legions of hardcore fans, and induction into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame.                -LeeRoyParnell.ComThanks to our Behind the Shedd Members on Patreon.  Ron Ledet - Stacy Shedd - Kay WilsonBehind the Shedd podcast is a weekly podcast series available on all major podcast platforms.  This podcast relives music row memories from Nashvilles most successful independent music producer, Harold Shedd.   Harold owned and operated the Music Mill Studio on Roy Acuff Place in Nashville and was later head of Mercury Records Nashville. Created by Wm.

Welcome to Behind the Shedd!  In episode 29, Harold, Chuck, and Wade sit down with legendary songwriter and singer, Dave Gibson.   Thanks to our Behind the Shedd Members on Patreon.  Ron Ledet - Stacy Shedd - Kay WilsonDave's Bio:Dave's  journey to the hub of country music, Nashville, Tennessee, began in 1982. This marked a turning point in his career, as he was soon to leave an indelible imprint on the country music scene.  In Nashville, Gibson held a publishing contract with a company owned by The Oak Ridge Boys. His songwriting prowess quickly caught the attention of prominent artists and led to collaborations that produced many chart-topping country hits.From 1990 to 1994, Gibson showcased his musical versatility as the frontman of the Gibson/Miller Band. Not only did he captivate audiences with his soulful voice, but he also penned many of the band's hits, including "High Rollin'", "Texas Tattoo", "Red, White, and Blue Collar", and "Stone Cold Country". He received the ACM award for ‘Best New Group’ in 1993. He’s also won six BMI awards, two NSAI awards, and was nominated for a Grammy. But for him, this is just the beginning.Gibson's portfolio of written songs is nothing short of impressive. His notable works include Alabama's "Jukebox in My Mind", Tanya Tucker's "If It Don't Come Easy", and Confederate Railroad's "Queen of Memphis" and "Daddy Never Was the Cadillac Kind". Gibson's songs have a unique ability to resonate with listeners, often exploring themes of love, loss, and the quintessential country lifestyle.Among his contributions to the country music scene, Gibson also co-wrote Joe Diffie's "Ships That Don't Come In", Pam Tillis' "Do You Know Where Your Man Is", and Conway Twitty's "House on Old Lonesome Road". His collaboration with Montgomery Gentry resulted in the hit song "Lonely and Gone", which further demonstrated his knack for creating deeply emotional and relatable music.  - davegibsonsongwriter.comBehind the Shedd podcast is a weekly podcast series available on all major podcast platforms.  This podcast relives music row memories from Nashvilles most successful independent music producer, Harold Shedd.   Harold owned and operated the Music Mill Studio on Roy Acuff Place in Nashville and was later head of Mercury Records Nashville. Created by Wm.
