Tennessee Pulleybone was a band formed in
Watson, a keyboardist and guitarist, later became a backing musician for Don Williams.[4]
An article in Hank Magazine stated
“What we’ve got here are four one time R&B and Top Forty pickers who have found a home with a style that’s unusual for the Nashville area. It’s country, R&B, bluegrass rock with Beachboys overtones. Some of the most interesting stuff they do is electric bluegrass tunes like Bill Monroe’s Uncle Pen, even with Tom Hamilton playing five string banjo, it still sounds like a dance record from Soul Train. What the Pulleybone does is hard to explain but it’s easy to enjoy.”
Tennessee Pulleybone lasted from 1973 to 1979.[3] After disbanding, Wolters joined Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show.
