Atlanta-based sleaze rockers Nashville Pussy were led by the husband-and-wife duo of singer/guitarist Blaine Cartwright and guitarist Ruyter Suys; joined by bassist Corey Parks (the sister of NBA star Cherokee Parks) and drummer Jeremy Thompson, the group (named in reference to a line from Ted Nugents Double Live Gonzo LP) debuted in 1998 with the album Let Them Eat Pussy, originally issued on Amphetamine Reptile. An underground favorite, the record was reissued on major label Mercury later that same year, and the song Fried Chicken and Coffee was nominated for a Grammy for Best Heavy Metal Performance. Parks left the group in early 2000 and was replaced by Tracy Almazan for High as Hell, which followed in the middle of the year. The album came out on TVT and helped maintain their cult following, but further progress was blocked by a lack of label support. A successful tour and several soundtrack and compilation appearances kept the band busy interim before they moved to Artemis for 2002s Say Something Nasty. The live DVD Keep on F*ckin in Paris! appeared in 2003. Nashville Pussy returned two years later with the Get Some! LP. It marked the debut of bassist Karen Cuda.
