Rednex

Rednex is a Swedish musical ensemble founded by lead vocalist Mary Joe (Annika Ljungberg), Bobby Sue (Kent Olander), Ken Tacky (Arne Arstrand), Billy Ray (Jonas Nilsson), and Mup (Patrick Edenberg). Throughout the 1990s, the group was successful with novelty tunes such as "Cotton Eye Joe", "Old Pop in an Oak", "The Spirit of the Hawk" and "Wish You Were Here". Pat Reiniz (Patrick Edenberg) was the band's producer as well.

Rednex was founded by Swedish producers Janne Ericsson, Jan "ban" berg, and Patrick Edenberg, who wanted to experiment with blending American country and folk music with current dance and pop music. The term "Rednex" is an intentional misspelling of the word "rednecks". The band's initial lineup included Mary Joe (Annika Ljungberg), Bobby Sue (Kent Olander), Ken Tacky (Arne Arstrand), Billy Ray (Jonas Nilsson), and Mup (Patrick Edenberg).
