Founded by brothers David and Homer Bellamy in 1968, the Bellamy Brothers were raised on a diet of country music, rock and roll, and Western swing. With no formal musical training the pair soon learned the guitar, madolin, and banjo before making their performance debut with their father at the Rattlesnake Roundup in San Antonio, Florida. The talented brothers were then introduced to Jim Stafford, who subsequently sung the No. 5 single “Spiders and Snakes” written by David, providing the Bellamy Brothers with enough money to move to Los Angeles, California. After signing with Curb Records, the pair earned their mainstream breakthrough with the single “Let Your Love Flow” which became poplular in the U.S., Britain, Germany, and Scandinavia.
The brothers’ debut LP “Let Your Love Flow” followed in 1976, peaking at No. 69 on the Billboard 200, and No. 21 in the UK. In 1977 the pair released the album “Plain & Fancy” marking a move towards a strict country music aesthetic. Two years later the brothers made their mark on country music with their single “If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me”, which topped the Billboard Country Music Chart, and proved hugely popular in the UK. Going from strength to strength, the Bellamy Brothers’ streak of hit singles continued in the 1980s with: “Sugah Daddy”, “Dancin’ Cowboys”, “Do You Love as Good as You Look”, and “They Could Put Me in Jail”.
Following a move to Elektra Records from Warner Bros. the group began experimenting with their sound, introducing reggae and hip hop themes to their music. The No. 1 single “For All the Wrong Reasons” arrived in 1981, followed by “Get into Reggae Cowboy”, a hugely popular crossover single. Until the end of the ‘80s the brothers enjoyed their peak of appeal and success, with the singles “Old Hippie” and “Kids of the Baby Boom” cementing their position as relevant and thoughtful musicians. With the new decade brought a new label, Atlantic, on which the brothers released their 1991 album “Rollin’ Thunder”.
Released on their own label Bellamy Brother Records, 1992's “Latest & the Greatest” spawned the hit “Cowboy Beat”, proving popular both in the U.S and elsewhere. The albums “Angels & Outlaws, Vol. 1”, “Jesus is Coming”, and “The Anthology, Vol. 1” were subsequently released on their label, providing the icing on the cake to this country music duo’s illustrious musical journey.
The Bellamy Brothers, an American country and western duo made up of two brothers, David and Homer Bellamy from Darby in Florida. With this band, it is all about the crossover hits. This audience is raring to go, and have enjoyed all the support acts up until this point. The lights go down and the crowd roars in the darkness as the duo walk on stage with their bands, complete with their guitars. They may be sixty years of age, but they can still rock out at this age, and they are still very much loved by their fans to this day! This band have dominated the country and western charts over the last three decade, especially the 80’s. They blast into “Do You Love as Good as You Look”, the tongue in cheek hit from 81”. It has this whole arena of people one their feet clapping along, having the best time, and singing every word. There are banners, foam hands and streamers.

Now in his seventy-second year, there’s no real question that Gene Watson is one of the most enduring figures of recent times in terms of his impact on the genre of country. He’s notched up twenty-three different top ten singles over the course of his career to date, but what really defines him these days are his live performances, which continue to thrill fans across the United States thanks to his prodigious touring schedule. Watson’s sets run through his entire back catalogue, with his signature track ‘Farewell Party’ getting an extended airing. He generally tends to lean towards the slower numbers in his repertoire, although that’s not to say that there’s no vitality to them; they’re brought to life especially impressively by the live ensemble that he’s put together, with drums, slide guitar and harmonica amongst the plethora of instrumentation backing him up. Watson rarely tours outside of his native U.S., but continues to show little sign of slowing down in his homeland, having released his latest album, My Heroes Have Always Been Country, earlier this year.
