2 weeks ago Country music icon, Willie Nelson, is coming to The Centre in Evansville TONIGHT. Willie is bringing his Willie Nelson & Family tour to town and we have been celebrating over the last couple of months with ticket giveaways and more. A few weeks ago, we had a TAD POLL about Willie during The WBKR Waking Crew. And that poll was . . . What is YOUR favorite Willie Nelson song? I don't have to hesitate a second to name mine. It's Willie's classic "Always on My Mind." And, I must say, there are several versions of that song I absolutely love. While Brenda Lee recorded the original version, it's a handful of covers that are on my mind. Check these out.
2 weeks ago I think this dude is one of our next country music superstars. It's in the way he's being marketed by his label. It's in his increasingly high profile. And it's--plain and simply--in his talent.
2 weeks ago I have been there and it really sucks. It is very disappointing when you find out that the concert you bought tickets for and that have been looking forward to has been canceled. But it happens . . . for a variety of reasons and, sometimes, just cannot be helped.

3 weeks ago In 1992, I had the chance to spend some time with George Jones. We discussed a wide range of topics on Nashville Live, an internationally syndicated radio show I hosted on Sunday nights from Emerald Studios in Music City.

3 weeks ago Back in the 1982, I wasn't listening to country music. Well, let me correct that. I wasn't listening to country radio. I was listening to pop and rock. But those stations were playing plenty of country music at the time--Eddie Rabbitt, Alabama, Ronnie Milsap, and, yes, Willie Nelson.
3 weeks ago It only took six weeks--a record, but the nightly concerts at LP Field during the 2013 CMA Music Festival are SOLD OUT!
