The Legendary
Roy Nichols

Roy Nichols is probably best known as Merle Haggard's guitar player.
Not everyone is aware of the broader history of this legendary guitar
player. In 1953 he played on 6 of Lefty Frizzell's recordings.
The information from those sessions can be found on
Ben Collis' tribute site to Lefty, Lefty Frizzell: Honky Tonk Hero.

According to a newspaper article he was also on Johnny Cash's song,
"Tennessee Flat Top Box", a song recorded again later by Johnny's
daughter Roseanne Cash. This same article indicated Roy also recorded
with Tommy Collins as well as performing in Tommy's live shows.

In 1959 Roy was with Wynn Stewart and did studio work with Wynn during
Wynn's Challenge years. In 1963, Wynn had a great collection of musicians
for 4 songs in the studio: Roy, Merle, Glen Campbell, Ralph Mooney,
Peaches Price and George French. The songs were:
"Slightly Used", "I Walked A Hundred Miles", 
"All At Once"and "I'm Not The Man I used To Be".
