Roy Lanham
was an incredible picker - truly in the same class as Jimmy
Bryant ; like
him, he was Country of course but he could play Jazz and Rock'n'Roll without
altering his style. When I met him in the late '80s, he was battling against
cancer but you would never have guessed : he looked good and his playing was
only a touch slower. In a web site so full of great guitarists, I had to feature
Roy ; I'll review his own solo releases and also attempt to draw up a list
of outside recordings he played on.
