Episode 251: Pioneers of Country September 22, 2012

Pioneers of Country Live!

We begin with Hank Williams and “Why Don't You Love Me”. Dolly Parton's “Coat of Many Colors” is next. Dave intros “One More Drink” a song created and performed by Jim Owen. Dave mentions that this is a rare evening broadcast as he is sitting in for Six String Stu. Our next artist is Merle Travis. Dave gives a bit of history of Merle and plays John Henry Jr. Good Time Charlie's by Del Reeves released in 1969 is next in sound. We now hear "Country Club" is a song written by Catesby Jones and Dennis Lord, and recorded by American country music artist Travis Tritt. Another 1990's country singer is next, Trisha Yearwood - XXX's And OOO's (American Girl). Lewis Pruitt - Crazy Bullfrog from 1960 is next. "Got No Reason Now for Goin' Home" is a song written by Johnny Russell, and recorded by American country music artist Gene Watson. We hear that song now. Second Hand Rose by Roy Drusky is next. Dave has a bad connection but he will fix it. Dave p[lays a Polka for our regular listener, Josie. Polish Power, a Single by Frankie Yankovic is next. Dave mentions that his wife Susan will be joining him in the studio in a few minutes (always a great time). That's the first 30 minutes – There's 83 more minutes of Pioneers of country to go. They were forgotten by The Country Music Industry, Country Radio, and even The Grand Ole Opry – Pioneers of Country proudly remember those artists, and the music they made popular.
