It is hard to believe that it has been 25 years ago today that "Pickin On Nashville," the debut album of The Kentucky Headhunters, was released. I do have a personal connection to the group as Fred and Richard Young were raised just a couple of miles down the road from my aunt Wilma and uncle Sterl in Knob Lick, KY. My aunt would tell us stories of them working on their farm. They still are extremely entertaining to see live in concert. You are not a true Kentuckian until you see The Kentucky Headhunters in concert! Just last year they were inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and I was there for the ceremony.
Here is a little bit of history on the album and the group....also, be sure to check out Billboard Magazine's website as my pal Chuck Dauphin has a special feature on them in his column. Click here to view that article.
