Biography
American progressive bluegrass band that had a short but legendary career during the folk revival of the late '50s and early '60s. The band was formed in Los Angeles in the early '50s by brothers [a=Roland White], [a=Eric White], and [a=Clarence White (2)] and their sister Joann. When Joann dropped out, the three brothers began billing themselves as the Three Little Country Boys and appeared on local television after winning first prize in a talent contest. In 1958, Arkansas native [a=Billy Ray Lathum] became their banjo player and Dobro player [a=Leroy Mack] joined the band the next year. Bassist and banjoist [a=Roger Bush] joined the band in 1961 after Eric dropped out to marry. The group cut its first album on [l=Briar Records], which changed the name of the group into The Kentucky Colonels. In 1963, fiddler [a=Bobby Slone] joined and they kept on playing and recording until 1965. They appeared in two episodes of "The Andy Griffith Show" in 1961 - "Mayberry on Record" and "Quiet Sam".
