Homer & Jethro - Hart Brake Motel

Review by Andrea Shettle, MSW

Hart Brake Motel is an album by the duo Homer & Jethro, released in 1956. The album features the signature humor and wit of the duo, who were known for their parodies of popular songs.

The album opens with "The Battle of Kookamonga," a hilarious take on the popular song "The Battle of New Orleans." The song features clever wordplay and puns that leave the listener laughing out loud.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyeballs," a parody of the classic song "Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes." The duo's version features hilarious lyrics about stargazing and getting lost in the stars.

Another standout track is "Tennessee Border No. 2," a parody of the classic song "Tennessee Border." The song features witty lyrics about moonshining and bootlegging, and showcases the duo's talent for storytelling.

Country music parody and comedy duo. Homer (Henry Doyle Haynes Jr., July 27, 1920 - August 7, 1971, Knoxville, TN) and Jethro (Kenneth Charles Burns, March 10, 1920 - February 4, 1989, Conasauga, TN) met at the age of 12 when both showed up in separate bands for an amateur contest at Knoxville's WNOX radio station. They were hired by the station after being disqualified from the contest for sounding too professional. A show's MC forgot their names and introduced them as "Homer and Jethro," giving them their stage names. Their parodies earned them a BMI award, a gold record, and a 1959 Grammy, and their popularity caused Kellogg's to feature them in a series of commercials for Corn Flakes. The partnership continued until Homer's death from a heart attack while preparing for a concert in August, 1971. Jethro continued as a respected jazz and country mandolinist until his death from cancer in February 1989.

The guitar is by George Barnes- one of Chet's heroes- an early pioneer of electric guitar, and a player who deserves far more recognition.
