We were privileged to be guests on The Judy Garland Show, however, you’ll note right away that the show had absolutely NO IDEA what to do with us. Thus you’ll see us pulled toward the “hillbilly caricature” trend, a tendency that we fought against for our whole career (as evidenced by our diverse albums and refusal to be pigeonholed). Hollywood wanted to make fun of the Ozarks, but of course we were literally from the Ozarks and always fought to represent our region accurately. We lost the battle a bit here but we gained tons of valuable exposure and in 1963 we certainly weren’t in a position to call the shots.
All in all, this is a sweet snapshot of history, and we are proud to share this compilation of our show segments. Thankful to be on a legendary show with legendary entertainers.
