The Kentucky Headhunters’ line-up is: Richard Young on rhythm guitar, lead and backing vocals, Fred Young on drums and backing vocals, Greg Martin on lead guitar and backing vocals and Doug Phelps on bass guitar and backing vocals. Family connections exist between The Kentucky Headhunters and Black Stone Cherry‘s drummer, John Fred Young who is a founder member of the band and the son and nephew of The Kentucky Headhunters’ Richard Young and drummer Fred Young.

The Kentucky Headhunters’ band formed in 1968 when brothers Fred and Richard Young and cousins Greg Martin and Anthony Kenney a Southern Rock and Blues band, Itchy Brother. In 1986, they renamed the band. The band’s first album won awards in several categories, the 1989’s “Pickin’ on Nashville” became a hit and sold over 2 million copies. The Kentucky Headhunters are an international success and their music blends multiple genres. The band mixes honky-tonk music, blues, rock, country rock and Southern Rock that appeals to many music aficionados everywhere, not just the South. Pre-order the new album on the official website below. And keep your eyes here at Rock at Night to check out the upcoming review of the new album.

Rock at Night says about the new single, “How Can I:” “This single is a driving mid-tempo, honky-tonk, blues and Southern Rock song, a break up and trying to get back with her song! Cute lyrics, bouncy boogie-woogie on the keys, nice slide guitar on the break! As I listened I was dancing! So yes–expect to get caught up in hooks of this delightful, toe tapping ditty! Loved it!”
