Moved To The Country

DIRECTIONS: Country superstar Conway Twitty started out in pop bands such as Phillips County Ramblers and the Cimarrons before switching styles in 1965. Every once in a while another member of a pop group leaves to become a solo country star. I'm thinking of nine such artists, whom you will find by traveling around the "country" depicted here. Progess from one letter to the next either in a straight or diagonal line. Then see if you can match each name with the names of the groups from which they came.
