Crazy Hillbillies is a 1930s radio show that revolves around the residents of Mineral Wells, Texas, who experienced the laxative effects of the minerals in their local drinking water. With its origins in New York City, the show features "Old Timey" music, a precursor to Bluegrass which combines folk music from diverse origins such as the British Isles, Europe, and Africa. The program's distinct sound is characterized by one instrument playing the melody accompanied by other instruments and sometimes a harmonica. As Bluegrass gained popularity in urban areas, it showcased more improvisation and each instrument’s treatment of the melody in turn.</p><p>Broadcasted in the 1930s, the Crazy Hillbilly Show was initially sponsored by Crazy Water Hotel, taking advantage of the show's popularity on a Dallas radio station. Eventually, the program spread its advertisements to a pirate radio station with a powerful transmitter just across the Mexican Border, allowing listeners as far away as Hawaii. However, when the great depression hit, travel to health spas declined, and the focus shifted to selling boiled-down mineral salts that could be reconstituted using tap water. Though the claims made by the Collins brothers, the creators of the show, were not overtly fraudulent, they were eventually lumped into the same category as other patent medicine salesmen when federal regulations were enacted.
