      A restaurant by that name never existed. It was called Adolphus Ennis, was just across from the courthouse in Greensburg. And yes it served slaw burgers and ski soda to the band members. Yes I lived in Greensburg for quite sometime.

    These dudes ruled. Wrote killer songs that blasted away contemporaries but had fun with it too. Their videos are evidence. Even when Ricky Lee left, they had some good stuff. When Doug Phelps came back. Wow. Listen to stomping grounds if ya like this. Brother Phelps was amazing...the vocal harmonies. Beautiful 2 albums if youre into bluegrass with a southern kick.. But Doug coming back was awesome. Wish they'd all get back together for a solid cd and tour. Here's to hunting heads!

      I'm ashamed to say I only discovered this great fun tune maybe 2 weeks ago. Keep in mind for many years my choice was classic rock and roll. One thing led to another, I obtained Sirius radio xm 3 years ago this month, it came free first 6 months when I bought a Ford F 150. Slowly but surely Willie's Roadhouse caught my attention. Not just that, I have come to understand country music and what it is that country music fans tell us that makes it so great. I love country music, real country music. Thank god for Hank Williams, he absolutely blows me away. What a singer, I hear in his voice how he influenced none other than George Jones. Peace

    When I was little my dad would tell me stories about when he was younger and how he would wash buses and tractor trailers for bands while they were appearing at the state fair. He said these guys were a class act and even invited him to toss the football around with them for a while before the show. Sawyer Brown was another one he got to hang out with. Good times, Dad. :)

    Dumas Walker was my great uncle. He died 1 year and 2 days before I was born. I grew up constantly hearing about his marble playing exploits. I realized that if I picked an odd singular thing to get good at I could be like him.
    I ended up winning an axe throwing tournament. I was super confused when I heard this song on the radio when I was younger. I wish I could of played marbles with him at family reunions.

      My grandpa lived in Monroe Co. KY, and used to drive across the state line into Moss TN to get beer (Monroe was a dry county.) He took me into Dumas Walker's store when I was very little, probably 5 or 6, in the mid-80s, as it was just up the road from the place where he normally went for beer. I don't remember a great deal about the visit, but I remember him doing a trick on the counter with a marble where he shot it with his thumb and it rolled out in a circle and came back to him. It was the coolest thing in the world to me at the time.

    My parents lived in Edmonton KY and they took us to Dumas’s bar. He had my kids stand at the long end of the bar and he shot the marble and it took a swerve and landed in their tiny hands. We all thought it was magical! Not just the kids. My daddy said to him, “the Kentucky Headhunters made you famous, he laughed and said “I no I made them famous.” We loved our visit many years ago.

    It isn't just that the music is so damn good, because it is. It isn't just that it's so much fun to listen to, and to dance to. It isn't just that the guys are so cute (I LOVED all their hair!) and that Jakey is adorable. It's that these videos make you feel like you're right there, dancing with them, having the time of your life. And it's that all these years later, all of that is still true.

    The Kentucky Headhunters is an American country rock and Southern rock band. They were founded in 1968 as Itchy Brother, which consisted of brothers Richard Young (rhythm guitar, vocals) and Fred Young (drums) along with Greg Martin (lead guitar, vocals) and Anthony Kenney (bass guitar, vocals). Itchy Brother performed together until 1982, with James Harrison replacing Martin from 1973 to 1976. The Young brothers and Martin began performing as The Kentucky Headhunters in 1986, adding brothers Ricky Lee Phelps (lead vocals, harmonica) and Doug Phelps (bass guitar, vocals) to the membership. With the release of their 1989 debut album Pickin' on Nashville via Mercury Records, the band charted four consecutive Top 40 country singles. A second album for Mercury, Electric Barnyard, did not do as well commercially, and the Phelps brothers left after its release to form Brother Phelps. Kenney re-joined and Mark S. Orr took over on lead vocals for 1993's Rave On!! and a compilation album entitled The Best of The Kentucky Headhunters: Still Pickin' before the band exited Mercury. Orr left and Doug Phelps rejoined in 1996 as lead vocalist for the album Stompin' Grounds. He also led on the Audium Entertainment albums Songs from the Grass String Ranch and Soul, as well as Big Boss Man and a second compilation, Flying Under the Radar, on CBuJ Entertainment. After Kenney's departure, Doug once again became the band's bass guitarist by the release of its next album, Dixie Lullabies, in 2011. The Kentucky Headhunters have released eight studio albums, three compilations, and twenty-three singles, of which the highest-peaking is a cover of the Don Gibson song "Oh Lonesome Me," which the band took to number 8 in 1990. In addition, the band has won three Country Music Association awards, an Academy of Country Music award and a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, won in 1990 for Pickin' on Nashville. At its peak in the early 1990s, The Kentucky Headhunters were considered a dark horse in country music, due to the significant mainstream attention that the band received despite their rougher sound and the members' rural Southern image.[10][75] In 1991, Entertainment Weekly critic Alanna Nash wrote that although the band did not sell as many albums as contemporaries George Strait or Garth Brooks, "they may just end up redefining country for the '90s" given the diverse range of influences and styles.[20] Billboard critic Ray Waddell called the band "arguably the most consistent and durable Southern rock outfit on the planet."[53]en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kentucky_Headhunters
