Rocky Top

Pictures from the Big South Fork and McCreary County Area of Southern Kentucky and Tennessee Area - Rocky Top (A fun song from Tennessee)gets your fingers working... This song was written by a married couple, songwriters Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. They wrote "Rocky Top" in only ten minutes in 1967. The Bryants were working in Gatlinburg on a collection of slow-tempo songs for a project for Archie Campbell and Chet Atkins. Writing the fast-paced "Rocky Top" served as a temporary diversion for them. Recorded by the Osborne Brothers in 1967, the song was a top 40 hit on the country music charts in early 1968. Singer is Carla Slaven
