Born on 11th November 1938 in a community near Keiser, Arkansas, Narvel like so many of his contemporaries grew up listening to the honky tonk sounds of Ernest Tubb and Hank Snow and obtained his first guitar at the age of 13, a Gene Autry model which he describes as being held together with a Prince Albert tobacco can and baling wire. The family relocated to the small town of Powe near Bernie, Missouri in 1953 and after picking cotton, he purchased a new guitar from Sears & Roebuck for $15.95 that he still has to this day. Early 1956, Felts entered a high school talent competition and sang "Baby Let's Play House", and "Blue Suede Shoes" as an encore (just imagine being allowed to perform such numbers at any school gathering at that time in Europe, Gilbert and Sullivan was as close as we were allowed to rock out!). Weldon Grimsley, a disc jockey from radio KDEX in nearby Dexter, Missouri, was in the audience and this led to Felts and his friend J.W. Grubbs securing a regular live Saturday afternoon broadcast on the station. On March 24 that year, Narvel met musician Jerry Mercer and proceeded to sit in on some of his gigs, eventually joining up with Mercer and The Rhythm & Blues Boys on a full time basis in July 1956. The outfit had a regular Saturday afternoon broadcast on radio KTCB and, for these, Mercer would record in advance on a portable tape machine. Fortunately some of these tapes have survived and have been issued on the CD "More Radio Rockabillies" (Rockstar RSRCD 012). They demonstrate the emerging fledgling talent of Felts.

Tapes found at Jerry Mercer's house in 1986 were used on the original vinyl album in 1988 and the extended CD in 1997.

The late Bob Jones mastered the original tapes and did a wonderful job to preserve these 1956 recordings for posterity.
