Formed by Jerry Williams (vocals and guitar] along with Rex Ludwick (drums) and Jerry McDonald (bass) in 1968, High Mountain Hoedown made a record deal with a producer & promoter Charles Greene who also worked with Buffalo Springfield and Sonny and Cher in 1969. Soon the band got into the studio and recorded self titled album and released under Etcetera Records.
There were severe law battles between Charles Greene and CBS Records over band as CBS immediately noticed the talent of the band when they listened to a demo tape. However, CBS failed to make a deal. The band soon broke up and the three musicians went separate ways-Jerry became a solo musician and released a couple of records, Rex later worked with Willie Nelson and Jerry McDonald is MIA.
