On today’s show there’s Easter Fayre with an across the board mix of old and new which hopefully you’ll enjoy as you eat your chocolate Easter eggs by your swimming pool with a glass of wine in your hand………..well we can all dream can’t we!
Our Album of the Week comes from Michael Scott and our Made in Britain slot features a five piece team who go by the name of Pig Earth.
I’ll be taking a look at some country birthdays and our Number One Take You Back track takes us back to 1987.
Ther’s also a few requests, one which will bring memories back if you like narrative songs.
I’m also introducing to a new artist, the lady with a smile in her voice from Texas, Heather McCready.
There’s also tracks from The McClymonts, Michelle Turley, Earl Scruggs, Bobby Bare, George Strait, Hank Locklin, Keith Whitley, Jana Kramer, Vince Gill and a whole host more.
It’s busy, busy…so hopefully you can take time out to relax, join me and take in some great country music.
Talk to you shortly
Cheers
Brian C

Hi Brian
HAPPY EASTER
Thanks VERY MUCH for playing Ali Isabella and “What If” last week. There is exciting news in the works for her I’ve heard this week. Watch this space!
THANK YOU for making PIG EARTH your Made in Britain feature this week. Lets hope many more British acts take up this feature opportunity on your show.
Your show was very newsworthy this week. Michelle Turley’s album has been released (nice track you played) Jana Kramer was at last week’s ACM Awards.
The audio of the Earls Scruggs funeral has now been made available online and it was very moving.
The McClymonts – Loved the track you played!
Heather McCready – New to me, really enjoyed the song, more please when possible.
Michael Scott – Haven’t come across his music before?
