These one-time country hit makers have grown into plausible candidates for America's Greatest Bar Band. A colorful collection of guitar tones, the Kentucky Headhunters' latest album ranges from the strawberry-bright lead lines of "Boone's Farm Boogie" to steely black-and-blue riffs in the monstrous "Little Miss Blues Breaker", and ends with the golden haze of "Recollection Blues".
