"Hillbilly Rock Hillbilly Roll" is a song by English country rock trio the Woolpackers, written by Eddie Phillips and Bob Garner of the Creation and produced by Nigel Wright.
The song was created on the ITV soap opera Emmerdale, where three of the show's actors—Steve Halliwell, Billy Hartman, and Alun Lewis—attempt to cash in on the line dancing trend that was prominent in the United Kingdom at the time by performing the song as their characters on the programme.
[3][4] "Hillbilly Rock Hillbilly Roll" was released as a single in the UK on 4 November 1996 and reached number five on the UK Singles Chart, earning a gold sales certification in October 2022 for sales and streams of over 400,000 units in the UK alone.
The track stayed in the UK top 20 for nine weeks and was the country's 41st-best-selling single of 1996.
