Who else is wishing these guys were just now showing up on the country scene? They were definitely ahead of their time and this is so much h better than today's wannabe country.
I'll take the hillbilly life any day compared to nowadays, thanks headhunters ,loved ya guys in 80s now at 52 still do ,and I love my country holler girls too. These are my kinda folks
These guys were actually Rockers. Rock and Roll had alot going for it, then in the mid 60's it went into the toilet. The County Rockers brought it back. It's sad that mainline County is, now as disgusting as mainline Rock/Pop.
jennifer i eat at Dumas Walkers a couple times a week over in Greensburg i live not to far from it. my brother was friends with the band he went to school with them
I saw them open for Hank Jr in the old omni convention Center in Atlanta in 91 or so, the drummer did a drum solo for what seems like 10 minutes man, he wailed on them things . after he was done he jumped over the drum set and did a shirtless pose down that Arnold Schwarzenegger would have been proud of. Pretty awesome concert all the way around
@@finsfan1376 I agree Neil in my book was the best drummer of all time, but the best even realize at least sometimes there are great ones out there too.
That this song peaked at #25, back then, tells you how great the music was in those days. To me this was a strong candidate for the best country song of the year, and I don't care where they put it on the charts. This song grows on you, and you sing along with it, so many others you get tired of and they burn out from too many listenings. I think this is one of the most inspired songs of it's time, for all the elements coming together so beautifully.
My dad said this was originally a Bluegrass song, the Countriest of all Country songs and the Kentucky Headhunters rocked it up. He liked it both ways.
I heard this at 8 years old. My parents, aunt and uncle went to there concert in Indiana and brought back a tape of there's. I heard it and this song stuck with me all these years. I'm 39 now. #HEADHUNTING
My kids just saw them at the Black Gold festival a few years ago. They look exactly the same!! My girls got a few guitar picks. It was a good time. Love these guys!!
Come back FROM WHERE? They never went anywhere! Still jamming. It's just that Nashville won't let them have hits any more. Remember, their first record was called "Pickin' On Nashville" And Nashville DOESN'T like to be picked on. I just saw The Heads in concert last Summer and the people I was with were younger than me, and they could not BELIEVE how much they jammed!
That’s one song I’ve just about wore out my CD player to by hitting the repeat button so many times! The only thing wrong with the song is that it’s too short! Haha! 😁
I had the honor of meeting them in a Jonesboro, Arkansas Wal-Mart in 1991!🤠 They were set to play "Pickin' on Nashville" at the A.S.U. Auditorium. I took off my tshirt & had everyone of them sign it! That was one of my #1 memories!💝
I was a Louisiana teenager when this came out. Crazy memories riding in the back of a truck drinking muscadine wine under the Louisiana moon! Good times 👏👏👏
Please someone, bring back more groups and songs like this! Country today is just pop rock crap on top of more crap. You cant even dance to the "new country". Even calling it country gives country a bad name.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Headhunters sure did make it sound totally different from the original. I know exactly where I was at when I heard their version, driving up interstate 81. Bought the cassette as soon after that as possible. Dumas Walker got more air time but I thought this was the best song on the album.
A very underrated group. I know they're famous for putting their unique spin on everyone else's hits, but who cares? They're still awesome. It's also awesome knowing that four of the five guys seen here still tour as the Kentucky Headhunters. Keep hunting, Doug Phelps, Grady Martin, and Robert and Allan Young!
