Bluegrass and oldtime mountain music singer. Born June 19, 1946 in Breathitt County, Kentucky U.S.A. A singer firmly entrenched in the Stanley Brothers tradition, Lee Allen performed around Dayton with his band, the Dew Mountain Boys. In the early to mid 1970s, he recorded two LPs and four singles on Jack Lynch’s Jalyn label, and two LPs and two singles on Old Homestead. Worthy of note is his tribute to an old friend, “In Memory of Roy Lee Centers,” issued on Old Homestead. In the mid 1970s, he moved back to eastern Kentucky.
