Acuff's Rose was formed as a country rock group in Melbourne in 1991 by Jack Coleman on bass guitar, James Hurst on drums, Martin Lewis on guitar, Kay-Louise Patterson (ex-Battle Happy) on keyboards and vocals, and Jeff Williams on vocals and guitar. The group were named for United States' 1940s country music artist, Roy Acuff, his songwriting partner, Fred Rose, and their publishing company, Acuff-Rose Music. By July 1992 Acuff's Rose had signed with the Torn & Frayed label on Shock Records which issued their debut extended play, 'Long Past Dawn'.
By June 1993 they released their first studio album, 'Never Comin' Down'. Guest musicians on the album include three former members of The Triffids: David McComb, Robert McComb and Graham Lee; as well as Charlie Owen and Chris Wilson. Hurst was replaced soon after by Brian Kane. In November 1995 their second album, 'Son of the North Wind', appeared with guest musicians including Spencer P. Jones and The Coral Snakes' Robin Casinader. The album was produced by Conway Savage, Julian Wu and Acuff's Rose. The album was later issued in France, Patterson and Williams promoted the release by touring there as a duo. By 1997 Acuff's Rose had disbanded.
