Swedish Eurodance group Rednex struck gold with their first single, a 1994 novelty electro-bluegrass cover of the pre-Civil War standard “Cotton Eye Joe.”
• The original lineup of vocalist Annika Ljungberg, vocalist/banjoist Arne Arstrand, and violinists Kent Olander and Billie Ray Jonas Nilsson were recruited by a trio of producers including Patrick Edenberg, who joined the group as well.
• Members of the group used costumes and stage names like Mary Joe and Bobby Sue to reflect their central gimmick: evoking the old American South.
• Rednex reimagined “Cotton Eye Joe,” which is believed to be a pre–Civil War plantation song, as a pop track with a thumping beat and accompanying line dance choreography. The single became an international hit, topping the charts across Europe and reaching No. 25 in the US.
• While they never again made the US charts, the singles “Old Pop in an Oak” and “Wish You Were Here”—both from their 1995 debut album, Sex & Violins—found success in Europe.
• “The Spirit of the Hawk,” off the group’s 2000 sophomore album, Farm Out, reached No. 1 in Germany and Austria.
• Rednex continue to release music but have evolved into being primarily a live touring act composed of a rotating pool of musicians.
