notes
As a small child in southeastern Oklahoma, Eddie Glenn had big dreams-- he wanted to grow up and be a garbage-truck driver. However, Eddie's life took a tragic turn, and he ended up doing neither. He became a singer-songwriter instead.
Through his college years, Eddie played in numerous bands, including Fear of Lemmings, Bite the Wax Tadpole, Special Ed and the Shortbus Riders, Bigwitch, All The Naked Payne Children, and Fear of Lemmings Version 2.0. But in 2000, he finally release his first solo CD, "Un-PC," a collection of songs so politically incorrect, Eddie's own mother refuses to acknowledge the CD's existence.
Eddie's newest CD, "Hick-Hop," is a bit less offensive to Eddie's mother, but still contains some of the twisted, satirical humor that has become Eddie's trademark.
Produced by Eddie and Jeffrey Gray Parker at Cimarron Sound Lab in Tahlequah, "Hick-Hop" contains a diverse musical mix, from bluegrass to hip-hop. It features playing by some of northeastern Oklahoma's best musicians, including Parker on guitar and bass; Jim Blair on banjo; Mick Thomas and Steve Kirkpatrick of Bliss McCain on drums and bass respectively; and Jerry Horner, who's backed up the likes of Lefty Frizzell and Buck Owens, on pedal steel guitar.

Thanks Kellybob, but...
author: Eddie GlennKellybob, I appreciate your support, but the folks on NPR (Country Cuzzins, or whoever) didn't steal a thing from me, and it sounds like they're doing some really cool stuff. If they want to use the term Hick Hop, what do I care? I hope more musicians start defining themselves that way - no harm to me! I didn't coin the term, and I don't know (or care) who did. I think it's a great description for a genre of musician who's time has come. Let's keep it positive, Kellybob.
