Biography

Six Mile Grove was founded in 1997 in Lyle, Minnesota (population 566) by brothers Brandon and Brian Sampson, Barry Nelson and Dezi Wallace. Their first rehearsals were held in the Sampsons' grandmother's farm home. [1] The group is known for an Americana/alt-country/roots rock sound.

In 2004 they began a collaboration with Johnny Cash guitarist Bob Wootton. In a 2011 interview, Wootton stated, "There's nothing fancy about them and they don't try to be something they're not. And that's what I like about them." [2]

In 2012 Six Mile Grove released their sixth studio album, Secret Life in a Quiet Town. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pull Up to the Bumper</span>

"Pull Up to the Bumper" is a 1981 song by Jamaican singer Grace Jones, released as the third single from her fifth album, Nightclubbing (1981). Sonically, it is an uptempo electro-disco, post-punk, dance-pop and reggae-disco song with dub production, "pulsing drums and chic new-wave licks", as well as elements of funk and R&B music. Its lyrics were written by Jones alone, while she, along with Kookoo Baya and Dana Manno, are credited as its composers. The song's instrumental part was originally recorded in 1980 during the Warm Leatherette sessions; however, it did not make the album as Chris Blackwell found its sound not fitting in the rest of the material. It was completed for the 1981 critically acclaimed Nightclubbing album and became its third single in June 1981. The song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart in the US and number 53 in the UK. When re-released in 1986, it peaked at number 12 in the UK. The track has come to be one of Jones' signature tunes and her first transatlantic hit.
