We lost a legend this week. David Allan Coe passed away on Wednesday at the age of 86.

He put out some controversial content in the 70’s but we are going to focus on the stuff we can play at 8 o’clock in the morning. DRINKING SONGS Johnny Russell Rednecks, White...

There is a quote attributed to Pablo Picasso that says something to the effect of “Good artists copy, Great artists steal”. Which upon further investigation, is probably based on a T.S. Elliot quote.

In early March, friend of the show Nate Gibson, host of Back to the Country on WORT, played 3 hours of Country Disco on his show and provided some his...

The theme of this week’s show comes from what I’m calling my “Baby Boomer Spring Break” trip. Last week, I drove down to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and spent a couple of days at the Bob Dylan Center and the Woody Guthrie Center. They had so many great artifacts and little documentaries. It is truly amazing to see the breadth of work that man created, especially when you look at the ‘63 to ‘68 era. The rest...
