Old-time string band formed in Galax, Virginia, fronted by Al Hopkins. Their name was coined at their first Okeh recording session they were asked what they wanted to be called and they responded "we're nothing but a bunch of hillbillies from North Carolina and Virginia, call us anything". Disbanded in 1932 after Hopkins died in an automobile wreck.
