Nashville has hardly been the same since the Kentucky Headhunters took it by storm in 1990. A country act–in the loosest sense of the term–the Headhunters’ hard-driving music ranges far afield into boogie, old-style rock ‘n roll, and white-boy electric guitar blues. The result is as rowdy and woolly as the singers themselves–a guitar-charged stomping sound variously described as “psycha-billy” and “hillbilly speed metal”.

Gentlemen South of The Virginia Opry opened the show.
