Chi ĆØ Rednex
Swedish Eurodance group Rednex struck gold with their first single, a 1994 novelty electro-bluegrass cover of the pre-Civil War standard āCotton Eye Joe.ā
ā¢ 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.
ā¢ 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.
ā¢ Rednex reimagined āCotton Eye Joe,ā which is believed to be a preāCivil 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.
ā¢ While they never again made the US charts, the singles āOld Pop in an Oakā and āWish You Were Hereāāboth from their 1995 debut album, Sex & Violinsāfound success in Europe.
ā¢ āThe Spirit of the Hawk,ā off the groupās 2000 sophomore album, Farm Out, reached No. 1 in Germany and Austria.
ā¢ Rednex continue to release music but have evolved into being primarily a live touring act composed of a rotating pool of musicians.
