With its thumping drums, sheet-metal guitar, and a liquid-fuzztone lead guitar more reminiscent of Blue Cheer than bluegrass, the song sounded like nothing else on country radio. This debut album revealed the ultra-scruffy Headhunters to be a surprisingly traditional group, delving into rockabilly, western swing, and a lot of boogie-woogie. Unfortunately, most of their explorations are disposable (if not outright unlistenable; cf. \"Rock \u0026amp; Roll Angel\"). Still, besides the brilliant, album-opening first hit, there are enjoyable moments. \"My Daddy Was a Milkman\" is an ominous rocker with a touch of Bo Diddley and intriguing lyrics, and two covers, Don Gibson's standard \"Oh Lonesome Me\" and Henson Cargill's 1967 fluke social commentary \"Skip a Rope,\" are rocked up excitingly . And \"Dumas Walker\" is an irresistible loping country boogie that introduced millions to the titular establishment's delectable menu: \"slaw burger, fries, and a bottle of Ski\" (a Kentucky knockoff of Mountain Dew). The Headhunters were musical pioneers, but inconsistent to a fault. --Ken Barnes Product description Kentucky Headhunters ~ Pickin' On Nashville\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 042283874428\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0042283874428\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48330210181379,"sku":"11-11BS-AIO9","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/61tsGw_oisL.jpg?v=1641839144","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/the-kentucky-headhunters-pickin-on-nashville-cd-used","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
