 echo - March 2004 - Hillbilly History
Harkins said his interest in studying the hillbilly stemmed from comic strips, a medium in which the hillbilly is a favorite subject.
The hillbilly image experienced a rebirth in the 1960s, driven primarily by the popular sitcom, “The Beverly Hillbillies.” In contrast to the pure-heartedness and generosity of Jed and the rest of the Clampett clan, the 1972 film “Deliverance” portrayed hillbillies as territorial and violent.
He said this is an important point to make when discussing the hillbilly because people tend to believe in the image as a reality rather than as a stereotype, something that does not occur with cultural images of other ethnic groups.

 Plan 9 - HillBilly IDOL : Hillbilly Idol *   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Hillbilly Idol: Paul Kovac, Dave Huddleston (vocals); Al Moss (steel guitar); Bill Watson (bass); Scott Flowers (drums).
Amidst a teeming generation of No Depression bands who wear their country influences on one sleeve and their rock & roll tattoos beneath the other, Hillbilly Idol stands out by fitting in, not with their contemporaries, but with their influences from the golden age of honky-tonk.
A snappy rendition of the Louvin Brothers' "She Didn't Even Know I Was Gone" further shows the band's roots, but in Al Moss and Dave Huddleston the band has two strong songwriters of its own, fully capable of churning out tunes that sound like they belong on a honky tonk jukebox circa 1960.

 Something Old, Nothing New: WB Animation: "Hillbilly Hare"
"Hillbilly Hare" is one of the all-time great Bugs Bunny cartoons, culminating in perhaps the funniest sustained sequence in any cartoon: the three-minute sequence where Bugs poses as a square-dance caller and leads two hapless hillbilly brothers through a sadistic square dance ("Whop him low and whop him high/Stick your finger in his eye").
The scene with the second hillbilly (voiced by John T. Smith is by John Carey; the scene also seems pretty close to McKimson's own preferences in terms of drawings and poses, but is a little looser than Chuck McKimson's:
Most of the next scene with the hillbillies falling for Bugs in drag is Phil DeLara, though Greg says that one close-up shot of Bugs in drag may be Chuck McKimson.

This style of music, which DeFord later called fl hillbilly music, started to fade in the 1920's when the record companies came south to record traditional music.
Only a handful of fl hillbilly musicians made commercial records in the 1920's and 1930's.
The last remnants can be heard in the music of Joe and Odell Thompson from North Carolina, in the style of the late John Jackson, in the driving fiddle of Howard Armstrong, and occasionally in the work of Taj Mahal.
