Steel guitarist. With "Curley" Herndon, he performed as "Hoot & Curley" on the Louisiana Hayride. He also backed Slim Whitman, providing the distinctive "shooting arrow," or "singing guitar," sound on such songs as "Love Song Of the Waterfall" and "Indian Love Call" (the sound coming as a result of Rains accidentally overshooting a note on his instrument).
