Their music was characterized by catchy melodies, twangy guitar riffs, and a lively, danceable rhythm. The Fireballs continued to release music throughout the 1960s and 1970s, achieving moderate success with songs like "Sugar Shack" and "Bottle of Wine." They were inducted into the West Texas Music Hall of Fame in 1997, recognizing their contribution to the rock and roll genre.
