Search - Leroy Troy :: The Old Grey Mare

For over twenty years now, admirers of Leroy Troy's banjo playing and singing have watched him steal the show on stages that range from The Grand Ole Opry to folk festivals like the Appalachian Homecoming, from the sound stages of Hee Haw to the refined studios of the British Broadcasting Corporation. And these admirers have ranged from the likes of Roy Acuff and Grandpa Jones to more modern giants like John Hartford. Old Grey Mare, Troy's long overdue first solo project, is a charming collection of old favorites and virtuosic show stoppers, lovingly produced by Country music legend Marty Stuart "There's no one else on Earth like Leroy. He is an American treasure, a musical wizard and one of my best friends. We made this album in the month of December after a year's worth of planning. We'd like to dedicate it to Hillbilly Heaven, Pluto, the Little Dipper, the Solemn Old Judge, Captain Kangaroo and Beethoven...with all due respect." -Marty Stuart
