:" For the USA psychobilly band, see Hellbillys."

The Hellbillies are a Norwegian country rock group formed in 1990. As of 2008, they have released eleven albums (one of them being a compilation, and two of them are live-albums) and one concert-DVD. They are among Norway's most popular recording artists.

Their lyrics are written and sung in the dialect of the Hallingdal area of Norway and there is evidence of influence from traditional (folk) Norwegian music, giving a distinctive "Norwegian" flavor to their country music.

Their early albums often included songs originally recorded by country music artists from the USA with The Hellbillies writing new lyrics in Norwegian. Later efforts have included much more original material that reflect contemporary Norwegian people and Norwegian life and issues.

They have also collaborated with musicians from the US, such as Mr. Rob Hajacos from Nashville, who plays fiddle on most Garth Brooks albums, also plays the fiddle on three of The Hellbillies’ albums. He has also been to Norway twice in order to do live gigs and cut records together with The Hellbillies.
