BOB LUMAN GREW UP IN TEXAS LISTENING TO THE MUSIC OF COUNTRY ARTISTS SUCH AS LEFTY FRIZZELL AND WEBB PIERCE AMONG OTHERS. HE WAS FRONTING A COUNTRY BAND IN 1955 WHEN HIS WHOLE WORLD CHANGED FOREVER. ELVIS PRESLEY CAME TO TOWN. ON THE ADVICE OF HIS GIRLFRIEND WHO HAD SEEN ELVIS PERFORM BOB ATTENDED ELVIS’S SHOW THE NEXT NIGHT AND HE DECIDED THAT THIS WAS WHAT HE WANTED TO DO AND SO BOB LUMAN, THE ROCKER, WAS BORN.

BOB CUT HIS FIRST DEMO SESSION IN 1955, ALL OF WHICH ARE FEATURED HERE. BOB RECORDED FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT LABELS BUT NEVER REALLY ACHIEVED THE STATUS OF ELVIS PRESLEY (WHO DID) BUT HE DID RECORD SOME SUPERB ROCKERS ALONG THE WAY. BOB DIED ON DECEMBER 27, 1978, FROM LIVER DISEASE, THE EFFECT OF A LIFETIME OF DRINKING. IN TRUE BOB LUMAN FASHION, HE BATTLED UNTIL THE END. HE PLAYED THE GRAND OLE OPRY ON FRIDAY NIGHT DECEMBER 15TH. A PICTURE TAKEN LATER THAT NIGHT SHOWS HIM LOOKING ROBUST AND HEALTHY. IMAGES CAN BE DECEIVING. PART OF THE ROBUST LOOK CAME FROM THE RETENTION OF FLUIDS. HAD BOB’S CIRCULATORY SYSTEM BEEN WORKING NORMALLY, HE WOULD HAVE LOOKED GAUNT. SOME GREAT ROCKERS. *****
