The Headhunters had seven studio albums and four straight Top 30 hits in the early 90s – “Walk Softly On This Heart of Mine,” “Dumas Walker,” the not-so-big-hit“ Rock ‘n’ Roll Angel” and “Oh Lonesome Me.” They’ve won a Grammy, CMA and ACM award in their long hitstory (not that awards make a band good, but it does show they were,a t one time, part of the “it” scene in country music.

I really liked the tones of Young's answers and I'll have to check them out beyond the one song that I know by them. I didn’t realize they were such a serious group.

I had their tape since I was 2 and I wore it out. I've also had several e-mail conversations with Richard and Greg, who was kind enough to send me a photo to use on Wikipedia (their article is a "Good Article" thanks to me).

Their 1993 debut album "Let Go" is still one of my favorites from that decade. Sadly the Phelps' follow up album "Any Way The Wind Blows" in 1995 was really lousy and rightfully torpedoed their career. It seemed they had used up all their good musical ideas on the first album and were totally tapped out. Oh well... I got to hear a bit of the Headhunter's live set at SoCal's Stagecoach Festival in 2008 and they were a lot of fun. Their music sure beat the hell out of the noise made by Ryan Bingham from the same stage that afternoon...
