"Footprints" is the title of Roy's first album, released on CD in 2003. This album contains ten steel guitar instrumentals and three vocals. The first instrumental is Roy's signature song, "The Tennessee Waltz" which catapulted Roy into fame in the steel guitar world due to the tremendous success of the original Pee Wee King version where Roy played steel guitar. The three vocals are inspired renditions by the great voice of Hal Higgins. The complete song list is shown below:

3. You Belong To Me

4. Last Date

5. A Legend In My Time

6. Greensleeves

of The Sons Of The Pioneers fame.
