Back In the Day, 2001

Hillbilly Hellcats

Our Brand

(Rockin' Cat Records)




Founded in 1993 by Lance Bakemeyer and Chuck Hughes. The Hillbilly Hellcats craft tunes that join stalwart rocking (and country) with acidic, humorous commentary on the scene and its dogmatic denizens. (If you can't laugh at yourself...) Clever self-awareness to which dancers exult.

Besides, what musician can't relate to "I Never Thought?" Chuck emailed me the band recently played Florida shows.

Recommended: "Road Rage," "Everybody There Was Drinkin' Martinis But Me," "Hillbilly Love," "Train To Nowhere," "Cats Like Us," "I Never Thought," "The Roadkill Cafe," "Ghost Train," "That's Not Rockabilly," "There Better Be Some Drinkin'," "I'm Leavin' Colorado," "Hot Rockin' Rhythm"
