There’s a cornucopia of country sounds coming your way on todays show from the Travelling Wilburys through to Confederate Railroad.
‘Remember This’ takes us back to a time when a couple of listeners holidayed in Nashville and our ‘Coulda Been Country’ track features a number three chart success here in Britain in 1963.
There’s the usual ‘Who’s Where and When’ and there’s a belter of a new release from Trace Adkins who features in our ‘Album Of The Week’.
British artist Graham Clark features in our ‘Made in Britain’ spot and there’s a reminder as to how you can win an album by becoming a member of our American Connection Facebook page.
There’s the usual look at the ups and downs of the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart and I’ll be playing the top three best selling country singles.
Music also comes from Southern Pacific, Pickin’ Violets, Ronnie Milsap, Montgomery Gentry, Anne Murray, Ed Bruce and many more.
There’s also news of John Schneider featuring in the latest archive interview on our sister site www.talkingcountry.co.uk.
Add to that a reminder of a special show coming your way next week relating to the tenth anniversary of the blockbuster movie ‘Oh Brother Where Art Thou’ and it’s going to be a fairly busy show.
It’ll be great if you can join me for the fastest ninety minutes of my life.
Cheers
