Skillet Lickers
Share
The Skillet Lickers are widely known as "Country music's first super group", and the first group to sell over 1 million copies of an instrumental album ("Down Yonder" in 1934). The Skillet Lickers are proud members of the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and are easily the state's most historic group - having called the Peach State home for over 90 years. Find out more about the Skillet Lickers at www.skilletlickers.org.
Between the budding music industry and the rapid growth of radio, the Skillet Lickers were truly in the right place at the right time.
