Area Code 615
Area Code 615 was an American supergroup from Nashville, Tennessee, consisting primarily of younger session musicians.
They took their name from the telephone area code, which at the time covered all of Central and Eastern Tennessee. Although their recording "Stone Fox Chase" was used as the theme of the BBC's music program The Old Grey Whistle Test, the band found difficulty getting respect from either conservative country music audiences or the mainstream rock press.
Area Code 615 recorded two albums, one instrumental and one with vocals, before disbanding. Wayne Moss, along with Nashville session steel guitarist Russ Hicks, formed Barefoot Jerry to continue Area Code 615's progressive country rock style. Mac Gayden, and Kenny Buttrey also played in the new band.
