Particulars
Wayne Moss was born on February 9, 1938, in South Charleston, West Virginia, and began playing in local bands as a teenager before moving to Nashville in 1959. He quickly became a sought‑after session musician, working with artists such as Patsy Cline, Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn, and Joan Baez, and contributed guitar to iconic recordings like Tommy Roe’s “Sheila,” Roy Orbison’s “Oh, Pretty Woman,” and Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde.
Moss’s versatility extended to bass and production, and he played on Dolly Parton’s signature hit “Jolene” and numerous tracks by the Everly Brothers, Charlie Daniels, and Nancy Sinatra. In 1961 he co‑founded the Cinderella Sound recording studio in his garage, which grew into Nashville’s oldest independent studio and hosted sessions for the Steve Miller Band, Linda Rostant, and many others.
Beyond performing, Moss helped launch the Nashville supergroups Area Code 615 and Barefoot Jerry, bringing together top session players. He remained active in music production and mentorship well into his later years.
