Hey Huff Heads....

As you know, my day job since 1989 has been playing guitar for the Grammy winning Kentucky HeadHunters. Our history goes back even further to Itchy Brother, but that's another story for later. Besides myself, Rufus Huff bassist Dean Smith is in the early HeadHunters lineage as a member of Itchy Brother.

I'm very happy to announce that the folks at Universal will release a May 13th, 1990 concert from the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio Sept. 22nd! This is a great snap shot of the Heads in our early touring days, and a great study in the roots of Rufus Huff. The Kentucky HeadHunters were one of the first country groups, if not the first, to use Marshall amplifiers on 10. The HeadHunters are still going strong, we do at least 75 shows a year, Oct. will celebrate twenty years since our first LP, "Pickin' On Nashville."

All the best....
Greg Martin
