THE GEORGIA SATELLITES
The Georgia Satellites are a Southern rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. Drawing on inspiration from Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, and AC/DC, they are best known for their 1986 top five hit single “Keep Your Hands to Yourself”. (More from Wikipedia)
I was starting to listen to more country music myself by the late 1970’s; I was happily discovering country’s roots such as the Carter Family and Hank Williams Sr., and also a lot of the “outlaw country” crowd like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and David Allan Coe. Many of the earliest alt-country artists also caught my ear (before anyone was even using the term), like Randy Travis, Lyle Lovett, k.d. lang and Hank Williams III; and some were simply country-flavored rock bands such as the Georgia Satellites and the Kentucky Headhunters.
