Steel guitariste Country US né Lloyd Lamar Green, le 4
Octobre 1937 à Mobile
(Alabama).
Lloyd Green
was born on October 4, 1937, in Leaf, MS, but moved to Mobile as a young boy and
began taking music lessons there. He graduated from high school in 1955 and went
on to attend the University of Southern Mississippi. Green landed in Nashville
after college and soon found steady work as a road musician supporting artists
like
Ferlin Husky and
Faron Young. He stayed with
Young's band for 18 months and then left to be with his new wife in Mobile.
During those months, he appeared on one
George Jones side, "Too Much Water Runs Under the Bridge" (1957). While in
Mobile, Green played in numerous clubs and managed to save enough money to
return to Nashville nine months later. But the touring life wasn't for him, and
neither was the low pay or the lack of steady gigs. He left the music business
for a job in retail, but returned when Fred Rose's wife paid his union dues and
secured him work as a supporting musician at the Grand Ole Opry. In 1964 he
began working as a part-time assistant at the SESAC office for
Roy Drusky. Although the pay was low, the gig was steady and did give Green
the opportunity to make his own demos. He remained with SESAC for three years,
and soon was earning good money from his session work. Green worked with pop
musicians as well, including Vera Lynn, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr, as well
as on the Byrds' seminal
Sweetheart of the Rodeo. He had just a handful of solo chart hits, including
instrumental versions of the pop tunes "I Can See Clearly Now" and "Here Comes
the Sun" in the early '70s. He also made the charts singing "You and Me." During
the 1980s an ear infection forced him to stop working, but Green eventually
returned to session work, and did perform the occasional concert on dobro or
steel guitar.
