Kentucky HeadHunters

The Kentucky Headhunters were one of those groups that spent over 20 years becoming an over night success.

Forming in 1968, it wasn’t until 1990 that they had their first national hit with Dumas Walker, which reached number 15. That was followed by Oh, Lonesome Me, which reached number 8. The band picked up CMA Awards in 1990 and 1991 for vocal group.

The band began to go through transitions and have had trouble gaining traction on the charts ever since.

Their long hair and odd name do not fit into the traditional country mold.

However, they do have a following and I believe they would be a hit in Branson, even if they were more of an afternoon act instead of a night time headliner.
