The Kentucky Headhunters are now coming full circle two decades after their 1989 debut album, Pickin’ On Nashville, was recorded for a measly $4,500. That record was meant to be a demo, but went on to sell Double Platinum and spent an amazing 147 weeks on the charts. Richard Young (rhythm guitar, vocals), Fred Young (drums), Greg Martin (lead guitar, vocals) and Doug Phelps (bass guitar, vocals) now are just launching a brand new album, The Kentucky Headhunters Live/Agora Ballroom … 1990.I had an opportunity to sit down with Richard Young over at the other site I write for, The 9513, to talk about the new project. Read the entire interview HERE.
"There needed to be a band associated with this scene and we just happened to be in the right place at the right time. We had been doing this so many years, we saw a really weird reaction from people when we were playing little bars and things. There was some kind of magic. Maybe it was the commonality of the guys. The band was different, it was innocent. It was different from anything else. It was a little risqué in terms of what Nashville was used to."
