    RIP Roy Head...

    Certainly not an international star by any means, he was a legendary musician locally with a number of Top 40 hits...His son, a singer on his own accord who won a TV show contest, said this of his father:
    Well, my old pops is gone to rest I’m trying to make sense of it and I feel like he was the rock on the shore I could always gauge me distance with. Now I feel like I’ve walked out too far and when I turn around to see the shore there is no rock there to let me know where I am or that ive gone too far. Lord please make my dad a star in the heavens so that I may lead my way back to solid ground.

    I don't know that I saw his son on American Idol, but I did catch him on The Voice, which he won.

    Man oh man, thanks for that video, Ben. The guy was not right in the head.

    Apparently he never found the cure either...Here he is at the age of 56 with another Texas legend, Doug Sahm......Ben

    I think there was a glimpse of Roy in the family shot of the video of his son Sundance Head auditioning for The Voice above.
