At 85, Roy Clark Revealed The 4 Greatest Guitarists He Ever Saw
"Roy Clark was far more than a country entertainer. Behind the humor, television appearances, and unforgettable performances was one of country music's most respected instrumentalists.
In this retrospective story, we look back at four extraordinary guitarists whose playing represented something special to Roy Clark: Merle Travis, Jerry Reed, Glen Campbell, and Chet Atkins. Each had a completely different sound, from Travis's influential picking style and Reed's unmistakable creativity to Campbell's often-overlooked guitar brilliance and Atkins's legendary touch.
