Hoosier Hot Shots
The Hoosier Hot Shots were an American quartet of "rural rhythm" musicians who entertained on stage, screen, radio, and records from 1932 to 1979. The group inspired an entire musical genre of comic novelties that thrived during the 1930s and '40s.
In 1946 Variety commented on the appeal and longevity of "those old washboard-pounders The Hoosier Hot Shots, predecessors of Spike Jones, the Korn Kobblers, Freddie Fisher, etc. They've been peddling their own brand of corn via the airwaves for years now, so anybody who has the audacity to criticize their ear-blasting tintinnabulations has also got to be reminded that they've made a wonderful living out of it."
