Biography

Born in Abilene, Texas in 1956, Lee Roy Parnell emerged as a versatile musician blending honky tonk, rock & roll, blues, swing, soul, and gospel influences. After years of club performances in Texas, he made his mark in Nashville with his self-titled debut album in 1990, followed by the successful Love Without Mercy in 1992. Parnell's chart-topping hits like "What Kind of Fool Do You Think I Am" and "Tender Moment" solidified his country music career in the early '90s.

Transitioning to a more radio-friendly country sound, Parnell continued his success with albums like We All Get Lucky Sometimes in 1995, featuring collaborations with Trisha Yearwood and Mary Chapin Carpenter. Despite a commercial dip with Every Night's a Saturday Night in 1997, Parnell remained resilient, signing with Vanguard and releasing Tell the Truth in 2001. His blues chart success with Back to the Well in 2006 and comeback album Midnight Believer in 2017 showcased his enduring talent and dedication to his craft.
