Leroy Troy - (1993) Backroads CS

 Bos Records ‎– none 

I recently received three tapes from an unusual young performer. Unusual in the sense that a very talented person chose to keep alive the music, style and entertainment of one of the great old-timers. Leroy Troy has patterned his show and performing after the first featured performer on the Grand Ole Opry. Not a small feat but one this young man has done admirably. If you have seen him on Hee Haw you can appreciate his Uncle Dave Macon act — all the way down to the mannerisms and banjo tricks of the old man. Unfortunately you can't see all of this on the cassette, but all the rest is there. The Macon-style pickin', the songs and the humor that comes through.
