I am looking for a country group whose name I dont know. They are still around, but they started in the 90s I believe, late 80s at EARLIEST! They remind me personally of cannon or cannonball, maybe a name similar to The Wreckers! Sorry for the vagueness, but thats all i know!

I remember that they sang, at least one song, about God, and they said that it wouldnt matter who said anything about it. I think the song was also about a marriage and something else...grr i am trying to remember...I will try to add more, check back please...

Ok, also, when I saw them, it was the summer of 2006, and they turned with Josh Turner and Danielle Peck. It was in Indiana, at a Labor Day festival, in Evansville. I hope that helps!

There was also one called the derailers

and another called "The Tractors" who had a song called "boogie woogie choo choo train" they were one of many clones of "the kentucky headhunters"
When I say "clones" I mean when the headhunters came out and were huge, winning Grammys and stuff, of course every record label had to have a band just like them. Its a greed thing. Problem is it saturates the market thus hurting the original band that started it all. Its why when garth brooks came out, every label wanted their own garth brooks. Now we have 20 garth Brooks, and none of them as good as the original. Its part of why country music sucks so bad now. Instead of labels signing acts with their own identity, they just look for one thats like something thats successfull at the time. Between that and using the same studio musicians on every record down there in nashville, its why everything sounds the same....sad
Here are some more headhunter clones, maybe its one of these bands

Pirates of The Mississipi
Confederate Railroad
Sawyer Brown
Big house
Shenandoah
Billy Hill
Little Texas
Diamond Rio ( I hate to put them in this catagory, because they are good players and singers that play on their own records, where as most of these clones just sang and they had studio cats record the tracks)

Of course the Headhunters wrote, performed and produced that first CD that won a Grammy for Album of the year and producers of the year,only spent $5000 to make it. When word of that got around, it pissed alot of big producers, because the labels thought well, if these hillbillies from Ky can make a Grammy award winning album by themselves for $5000 why can't the best producers in the world. The answer to that is because they didn't have The Ky Headhunters to record.
