Produced by Muscle Shoals wunderkind, Barry Beckett and recorded in the Spring of 1990, LEE ROY PARNELL featured a ten-track list anchored by many of Music Row's most admired and consistent hit country writers, with a taste for R&B. Coupled with Parnell's infectious, natural, bluesy vocal chops, LRP marked an auspicious major-label debut for this small town Texas guitar player.
