Biography
Narvel Albert Felts, born on November 11, 1938, in Keiser, Arkansas, is an American musician known for his contributions to rockabilly and country music. Inspired by country stars like Ernest Tubb and Floyd Tillman, he taught himself to play the guitar and won a high school talent contest with his rendition of "Blue Suede Shoes" in 1956. His early career began with a radio show on KDEX in Dexter, Missouri, where he moderated his own Saturday afternoon program.
His breakthrough as a country singer occurred in the mid-1970s when he signed with Cinnamon Label. His second single, "Drift Away", reached the top ten of the Hot Country Songs charts. Subsequent hits included "All in the Name of Love" (1973) and "I Want to Stay" (1974). After his label closed, he moved to ABC-Dot Records, where he achieved his biggest hit with "Reconsider Me", which peaked at Number 2. Other notable songs from this period include "Run for the Roses" (1978). In the late 1970s, he formed the Driftaways and became a popular figure in Europe during the rockabilly revival. He continued to perform in country and rockabilly shows throughout his career.
