Introduction:

The Hillsiders formed in 1964 in Liverpool and were recognised as one of Britain's top Country bands for over three decades, playing major venues and touring GI bases both at home and overseas. They worked with many of Country Music's major artistes such as Marty Robbins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Gene Watson and Glen Campbell. The 'Hillies' 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.

Due to their great popularity the Hillsiders were invited on to the Grand Ole Opry in 1967, when it was held at the famous Ryman Auditorium. The Hillsiders are the first and maybe the only British band to be invited to play on the hallowed stage of the Ryman, where such great names as Hank Williams has stood before. The Hillsiders have recorded fifteen albums over the course of their career and have won numerous major Country Music awards.
