Raised in Mississippi, he began playing guitar at eleven and penned his first song by thirteen. In his teens, Banks performed with local bands, including a stint with the Bluegrass group Carl Sauceman and the Green Valley Boys. In 1956, he released the single "Be-Boppin' Daddy" / "You're So Dumb" on the Fame label. Throughout his career, Banks shared stages with legends like Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins. In the 1980s, he released five albums featuring humor-infused tracks that resonated with the trucking community.
