January 6, 2013 I'll be interviewing the boys from Florida Georgia Line on Tuesday during my Midday Show. I'm SO excited to talk with them, because I'm lovin their music! Pretty sure it's safe to say how much y'all loved their debut single, "Cruise", being that you voted it your #2 song of 2012 during our Big BKR Smackdown!
So, I thought it would be cool to throw in a few questions from you, our WBKR listeners! Make sure and enter your question and tune in Tuesday to see if I asked the boys your question!
January 5, 2013 Monica, WBKR's Twitter gal, is obsessed with Chuck Wicks. Wicks, who was featured on ABC's failed reality show Nashville, which was on the air for just two episodes in 2007, first landed on the chart in the same year. His ballad "Stealing Cinderella" melted hearts (like Monica's) and the song, consequently, roared into the Top Ten as Wicks' debut single. It peaked at an impressive #5 on the Billboard Country Charts. The follow up, "All I Ever Wanted," was expected to hit as well. Only, that didn't happen.
January 4, 2013 We are very lucky to have the International Bluegrass Music Museum here in Owensboro! Most of us know that they bring us ROMP every year, but we don't know much more.

January 3, 2013 One day last week, the folks from Save-A-Lot in Leitchfield called me on the morning show and they were wanting to hear Old Crow Medicine Show's "Wagon Wheel." I love that song and was ready to spin it for them, but realized we didn't have it in our song library. So, out of curiosity, I started searching for the song on YouTube and, of course, instantly found OCM's version. But, I also found a lot of other versions of the song, including this one! Check it out. In July, Old Crow Medicine Show played The Grand Ole Opry and was joined on stage by Darius Rucker. Watch!
January 2, 2013 I'll lay it out there. Presenting my five least favorite country songs of 2012 is always a risky proposition only because there's someone who will get ticked off. It happens. And, that's okay. You have as much right to like a song as I do not to like it. That's what opinion pieces are all about. With that, I give you my Top 5 Duds of 2012:
January 2, 2013 This kid is flippin' awesome! A 10-year-old boy in Seattle recently discovered he could use his family's washing machine as a drum set. And what he does with this Super Queen super-capacity plus, 14-cycle washer is INSANE! Take a look. This kid completely rocks it out.
January 1, 2013 Devastating.
It's a word I've used before when Alan Jackson has gone all cry-in-your-beer on us. Remember that song, "Gone Crazy?"
Sensational! And this one's better.
