Highfalutin Hillbilly by The Kody Norris Show
HIGHFALUTIN HILLBILLY captures The Kody Norris Show at their most confident and entertaining yet. Blending sharp picking, classic covers, and original songs, the album reflects a band fully in stride. From the high-octane “The Auctioneer” to the driving closer “Ramblin’ Around,” each track showcases their signature mix of tradition, humor, and heart. Highlights include Mary Rachel Nalley-Norris' hard hitting heartbreak song “Blue Ain’t the Word,” an infectious take on the 1970s Tanya Tucker hit "San Antonio Stroll" featuring members of all-female group Sister Sadie, a fiery rendition of Jimmy Martin’s “Tennessee,” and the band’s playful spin on “Mississippi Squirrel Revival.” Packed with personality and polish, HIGHFALUTIN HILLBILLY is a joyful celebration of everything fans love about the group.
