But judging from the group's versatility and the number of different genres they were comfortable with, the Prairie Ramblers have more in common with groundbreaking music groups such as the Beatles. One of the group's recordings featuring its female vocalist Patsy Montana was the first record by a female country artist to sell a million copies, so hit-parade gold dust was hardly out of this band's reach. The Prairie Ramblers were originally formed as the Kentucky Ramblers by mandolinist Charles Chick Hurt, and "Happy" Jack Taylor, who played both bass and tenor banjo. Both men hailed from the Summershade area near Glasgow, KY. Relocating to Illinois, the two wound up collaborating with another pair of Kentucky players. These were fiddler and lead vocalist Tex Atchison, and Floyd "Salty" Holmes, a multi-instrumentalist who beside his spicy nickname was also known as the "maestro of the harmonica." The group began working together at the outset of the '30s and within a few years had made their radio debut on WOC out of Davenport, IA. Later, in 1932, the group moved to WLS Chicago, a station that would make country music history with innovative programs such as Merry Go-Round and National Barn Dance.As good as these players were, it was joining forces with Patsy Montana the following year that made the band really click. Born Rubye Blevins, the country gal was on-hand for the first set of Prairie Ramblers recordings, done for RCA-Victor's Bluebird label at the end of that year. The public's growing interest in cowboy songs and music had led to the name change; apparently, the prairie was more associated with cowboys than the state of Kentucky. After a six-month hiatus on New York City radio, the group returned to WLS with a new focus on both pop-styled cowboy songs and swing music. The cowboy image began to dominate the group's appearance, the players appearing at venues on horseback and Western dress, even rustling up Gene Autry's "Ridin' Down the Canyon" as a signature tune. The group made history in one clear-cut way, providing Montana with the chance to score a million-selling record, "I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart." The band signed with ARC Records and by the end of 1936 had already cut more than 100 sides. The repertoire just kept getting broader, including gospel numbers, cowboy songs, mountain music, Western swing, and comedy.Just like many sanctified artists who recorded scandalous pop music under other names, the Prairie Ramblers recorded several somewhat off-color incognito songs. The group even went to the trouble of trying to change its overall sound for this material, adding clarinetist and vocalist Bill Thawl for tracks recorded under the name of the Sweet Violet Boys. Apparently it wasn't much of a secret who the band was, but pianist Bob Miller, who had begun playing on some of the Prairie Rambler recordings, published the risqué numbers he had composed under the pseudonym of Trebor Rellim, again not such a sophisticated cover-up. The songs he was trying to keep his name off included "There's a Man Who Comes to Our House Every Single Day (Poppa Comes Home and the Man Goes Away)" and "I Love My Fruit," thought to be the first gay hillbilly song. Apparently Patsy Montana was allowed to leave the studio during these sessions rather than be scandalized. Atchison and Holmes rambled right out of the group in 1938, replaced by fiddler Alan Crockett and guitarist/vocalist Kenneth Houchens. In the early '40s, the band added in the accordion of Augie Kline and beefed up the sound further with the electric-guitar stylings of George Barnes. In 1941, something happened that just about anyone following the band might have predicted: Montana left to pursue her solo career.The Prairie Ramblers appeared in several Hollywood Western films, first through their connection with Gene Autry and later with cowboy singer Rex Allen. Both artists utilized the group for accompaniment on recording sessions. The final recordings by the Prairie Ramblers were done for Mercury at the end of 1947, and followers of the band tend to find this material to be somewhat generic. In the group's repertoire around the time of its breakup was a tune entitled "You Ain't Got No Hillbilly Anymore," which was probably a sad fact of life for these musicians. Hurt and Taylor worked as a duo around Chicago area before retiring.
