The Kentucky Headhunters - Pickin On Nashville
Review by Bah Petruk Muda Yogyakarta
The Kentucky Headhunters' debut album, Pickin On Nashville, is a classic country rock album that showcases the band's impressive musicianship and songwriting skills. Released in 1989, the album features a mix of original songs and covers, all of which are infused with the band's unique Southern sound.
From the opening track, "Walk Softly On This Heart Of Mine," to the closing ballad, "Some Folks Like To Steal," Pickin On Nashville is a cohesive and well-crafted album that will appeal to fans of both classic country and Southern rock. The band's signature sound is driven by the powerful vocals of lead singer Doug Phelps, who also plays bass guitar, and the impressive guitar work of Greg Martin and Richard Young.
One of the standout tracks on the album is the band's cover of Don Gibson's "Oh Lonesome Me," which features a catchy guitar riff and an infectious chorus. Another highlight is the band's original song, "Dumas Walker," which tells the story of a local hangout in the band's hometown of Edmonton, Kentucky.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

Saw them at Sturgis - it was blasting!
That shit is good
Pure Amaricana. Simply said. Those boys got it, dead nuts.
Great F'in Band today!!
I'm in agreement with ,all of you, they have killed our beloved, what was the real country music, of all time, I never listen to the new trash, of this day, and time, I so love the old sound was raised up with all the greats.. I love this band, I had the opportunity, to see them years ago in Nashville, when they appeared at fanfare ..a week long music fair for all the fans ..most all the wonderful greats ,would be there during the event. It was a wonderful time ..
This song is a classic
?????
I still love this song. It is so soul friendly. Love old videos they told a story. Not today though!
I think you are!!!
It’s 2023 , and this song is still rocks “ play it loud “.?
The moment I decided I was going to marry Doug Phelps….❤❤❤
They played window rock civic center Arizona….. I was there
Me too
The best band an singers there is
RIP Crow, love to you,
I love this song better than this stuff today such an underrated band
Back when country was country
love it
Best songs you have brother's and brother bob said hello boys
The guy with the curly hair and red glasses looks like Janice Joplin. Those guys are homily that's for certain, but they can sing and play a mean guitar. They are badass for sure, too bad there looks were not up to par, but you don't need looks if you got talent. The ugliest people who became famous or rich or both manage to get good-looking partners. Idk if that shows they just want that person because of the talent or money, or they see thru all that and love them for who they are real true love, but in the real world that's a very very rare thing.
Love the Headhunters. Grew up rockin' to them. #KentuckyProud
