American country music singer Lee Roy Parnell has released eight studio albums, one greatest hits album, and twenty-three singles. He debuted in 1990 with a self-titled album for Arista Nashville, which proved commercially unsuccessful. Parnell's second album, 1992's Love Without Mercy, accounted for his first successful single "What Kind of Fool Do You Think I Am". In 1995, he transferred to Arista Nashville's Career division, but returned in 1999 when that division was shuttered. Later albums have been released on Vanguard Records, Universal South (now known as Show Dog-Universal Music), and Vector.
Parnell has charted twenty-one times as a solo artist on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. He has seven top-ten hits on this charts, with "What Kind of Fool Do You Think I Am", "Tender Moment", and "A Little Bit of You" having all reached number two on that chart. He was also featured on a 1994 cover of Merle Haggard's "Workin' Man Blues" alongside Diamond Rio and Steve Wariner, which was credited to Jed Zeppelin, as well as David Lee Murphy's 2004 single "Inspiration".
