The band was a launching platform for many of the musicians who contributed to the Memphis music scene that revolved around Sam Phillips and Sun Records.
Members of the Snearly Ranch Boys included Bill Black, Jim Stewart,[1] Jerry Lee Lewis, Reggie Young, Ace Cannon, Barbara Pittman, and Johnny Benero.
During the next ten years, the line up of the "Ranch Boys" changed frequently as musicians drifted in and out of Memphis, or became recording artists and moved on.
On some nights, according to band member Al Vescova, there might be three versions of the Snearly Ranch Boys playing gigs in Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas.
American guitar legend, Reggie Young, who has over 200 Gold or Platinum records to his credit, played for the Ranch Boys.
Many other musicians performed with the Ranch Boys, including Buddy Holobaugh, Jan Ledbetter, Jimmy Knight, and Jack Leoppard.
