I read about this group in the book "Country Music, the Rough Guide," by Kurt Wolff (who I want to publicly thank for pointing me toward a number of great but little known artists).

The Farmer Boys were contemporary with the Bakersfield scene in the 50s and 60s, and are sometimes classified as rockabilly, although only a few cuts meet that definition. In fact, they are really hard core hillbilly/country artists. On some cuts they sound a bit like the Louvin Brothers, but theirs is a rawer, older country sound. If you lean toward the honky side of honky tonk music, you should find this to be a delightful addition to your collection.

This album is extremely hard to find. I don't think it's on itunes and you won't stumble across these guys often in a record store. If you like Louvin Bros, you'll like this. Check it out!
