In early 2000, a chance meeting between Chris Higbee and Chris "Abby" Abbondanza led to beginning of The PovertyNeck Hillbillies. Five years later, The PovertyNeck Hillbillies are a six member band formed from the roots of talent, ambition and a genuine passion for country music. Chris Higbee (fiddle), Abby (lead vocals), Dave Cramer (keyboards, vocals), Ryan Lucotch (drums), Jeff Volek (bass), and Junior (electric guitar) are the magic six from the outskirts of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that make this group unlike any other country act that is out there.
The charismatic, live performances that The PovertyNeck Hillbillies deliver night after night to thousands of fans of all ages and cowboy boot sizes are a true testament to why this group is the greatest new band in the world of country music. Abby's vocals blend a deep, country twang with a hint of rocknroll gravel, and are backed by powerful harmonies in songs such as, "She Rides Wild Horses" and "Mr. Right Now." The six piece band provides the full, articulate sound that makes The PovertyNeck Hillbillies unique in their genre.
As the official band of the Pittsburgh Steelers, PNH has a deep loyalty to their hometown soil, where in 2005 their debut release sold over 2,100 units in the first week of distribution. "Hillbilly State of Mind" sold over 30,000 units regionally, attracting national attention from the Country Music Association, who promptly named the band one of the "top independent artists of 2005."
Producer/manager, Bob Corbin (Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams Jr. and Alabama) has been with the band since the beginning and is the songwriter behind some of the album's greatest tunes. The album will hit stores on June 6th, 2006 and will come with a bonus two hour DVD featuring a live concert/documentary, produced by WQED in Pittsburgh. The documentary has been in syndicated rotation on PBS stations in over twenty states nationwide. As regional heavyweights with national radio, television and media attention, The PovertyNeck Hillbillies are rapidly becoming country music's fastest rising stars.

Povertyneck Hillbillies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fancy diamonds, strings of pearls
You've had everything that money could buy
But you've never had me in your life
Let me tell you like it is girl
Well I know that this love in my heart is true
Every heart beat is beating for you
Well I can't help it its the way that I feel
About this love in my heart
Well now that I've got your attention
Are you gonna make me beg you to stay
Don't toy with this boys affection
I can't help it, don't know any other way
Let me tell you like it is girl
Well I know that this love in my heart is true
Every heart beat is beating for you
I know that this love in my heart is real
Well I can't help it its the way that I feel
About this love in my heart
Woah girl we can stay here all night
So how can we argue with something so right
Like this love, like this love in my heart
Well I know that this love in my heart is true
Every heart beat is beating for you
I know that this love in my heart is real
Well I can't help it its the way that I feel
About this love in my heart
We can stay here all night
(I know this love)
This love its so right
Well take it from me
