Jerry Raney

The Beat Farmers grew out of Country Dick & the Snuggle Bunnies and was formed in August 1983.  They became one of the leading bands in what became known as “cowpunk” or country punk, a blend of punk rock with country and folk music.  Bandmembers were Country Dick Montana (drums, guitar, vocals), Jerry Raney (guitar, vocals), Rolle Dexter Love (bass), and Buddy Blue (guitar, vocals, drums).  Joey Harris (guitar, vocals) replaced Blue in the band in 1986; he had previously been in Country Dick & the Snuggle Bunnies.
