They worked with many of Country Music's major artistes such as Marty Robbins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Gene Watson and Glen Campbell. The '<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Hillies</span>' toured with Bobby Bare and recorded an album "The English Countryside" with him on the RCA Nashville label, produced by the renowned Chet Atkins. "The English Countryside" made #17 on the US Billboard Country Charts and received a silver disk for sales. They also recorded an album with George Hamilton IV in 1971.<br /><br />Due to their great popularity the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Hillsiders</span> were invited on to the Grand Ole <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Opry</span> in 1967, when it was held at the famous <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Ryman</span> Auditorium. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Hillsiders</span> are the first and maybe the only British band to be invited to play on the hallowed stage of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Ryman</span>, where such great names as Hank Williams has stood before. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Hillsiders</span> have recorded fifteen albums over the course of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">their</span> career and have won numerous major Country Music awards.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Contents:</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><ul><li style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">The</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Hillsiders</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">History</span></li><ul><li>35 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">years</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">of</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">the</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Hillsiders</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">and</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">beyond</span>.</li></ul><li style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Band Members<br /></span></li><ul><li>Details <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">of</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">the</span> band <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">members</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">past</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">and</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">present</span>.<br /></li></ul><li style="font-weight: bold;">Albums <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">releases</span></li><ul><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Chronological</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">list</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">of</span> Albums <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">released</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">over</span> 35 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">years.</span><br /></li></ul><li style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">Pictures</span></li><ul><li>See <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">the</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">pictures</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">slide</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">show</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">on</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">the</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">right</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">hand</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">side</span>.<br /></li></ul><li style="font-weight: bold;">Videos</li><ul><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35">Scroll</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36">to</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37">the</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38">bottom</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_39">of</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_40">the</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_41">site</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_42">for</span> links <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_43">to</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_44"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Hillsiders</span> live performance video and TV spots.</span><br /></li></ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Guest Book Comments</span></li></ul><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKx2w2NH2WTeY0WKrk1sD-Xhb1wTj-a3vLaBHNH3QaKH46DPBwB-Pgs_uGsF7CnQyu8jUersr4SWnkHWRNVlhyphenhyphenquG1G3AdTKrIQSIzTvg0h1niAcRgF81NVT7yKl-Lmi6SZUuPshiYYuM/s1600-h/Divider-Line.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Brian has been nicknamed “Noddy” for so many years now, he hardly remembers his real name. The nickname was given to him during many of the all night sessions in <st1:country-region><st1:place>Germany</st1:place></st1:country-region>. At t</span><span style="font-size: 100%;">his time, he played drums for a be</span><span style="font-size: 100%;">at group called King Size Taylor and the Dominoes based in <st1:state><st1:place>Hamburg</st1:place></st1:state>. Back in <st1:place>Liverpool</st1:place>, he played with The Foremost and auditioned for The Who who were</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"> heavy rock groups.<br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 100%;">Noddy knew Joe at the time The Hillsiders were being formed and he decided to swap the heavy rock for country music. It did not take him long to decide this was where his talents lay. He still loves all types of music but lists country music as his favourite. Before becoming a musician, Noddy was a TV aerial rigger.

The Hillsiders liked the sounds that <span class="il">Ian</span> produced so much that they asked him to produce at least 6 of their albums. They were "By Request". " Our Country". "Leaving of Liverpool". " George Hamilton IV & The Hillsiders". Goodbye Scotty Road". and "To Please You". "The Hillies" and <span class="il">Ian</span> remained friends for many years and he was indeed, very influential in their success. <span style="font-size: 100%;"><br />
