Lee Roy, of bluegrass duo The Roys, was honored on Monday by Power Source Magazine for his Number 1 Inspirational Country Single, ‘I Wonder What God’s Thinking.’ Lee received the plaque during a presentation aboard the historic General Jackson Showboat.
The press release explains:
‘I Wonder What God’s Thinking’ questions the Lord’s perception of today’s often selfish society that frequently ignores our fellow humans in need. The poignant song was featured on THE ROYS’ extremely popular and critically-acclaimed Rural Rhythm Records’ debut CD, Lonesome Whistle.
“Every award is meaningful in its own way,” comments Lee. “But to be recognized for my efforts as a songwriter is especially humbling, since I believe in divine inspiration. I wrote it after watching the news and considering how separated so many of us seem to have become from each other and from God.”
Lee and his sister Elaine comprise THE ROYS, a powerhouse duo that’s repeatedly rocketed up the charts and grown in popularity during the past two years. Their August-issue EP, NEW DAY DAWNING, debuted at Number 2 on the Billboard Bluegrass Albums Chart in early September and two weeks later the disc had risen to Number 1 on Amazon’s Bluegrass Best Sellers list. The EP’s first single release, “Still Standing,” debuted on the Power Source Bluegrass Top 35 chart this month.
The reigning ICM’s Bluegrass Artist of the Year, THE ROYS, are candidates for nomination in three award categories for 2012: Entertainer of the Year, Vocal Duo of the Year and Bluegrass Artist of the Year.
The siblings are playing an active role in this year’s Inspirational Country Music Week, with appearances on Sunday, October 14 (ICM Opening Ceremony at Cornerstone Church) and on Thursday, October 18 as they kick off the 20th Anniversary of the ICM Faith, Family & Country™ Awards Show with the evening’s first performance.
