Local artist Aaron Kizer helped the Grand Ole Opry celebrate its 88th birthday yesterday during a celebration at the Opry Plaza.  He took the stage at 10am and, in front of a couple of hundred Opry faithful, painted some of country music's biggest legends.  Wanna know who he immortalized on canvas?

On Friday morning, one of our WBKR Waking Crew listeners called in and requested Chris Young's version of Keith Whitley's country classic, "Don't Close Your Eyes."  Naturally, because Chris Young has not released that as an official single, it was not in our broadcast system.  However, I, at the caller's urging, found it on YouTube.  It was just about a year ago that Chris appeared at Th

While she may not have won the title of American Idol, Kree Harrison is taking full advantage of the fact that she is the reigning Idol runner-up.  And, tonight, she will be living a life-long dream when she steps into the circle of The Grand Ole Opry and makes her Opry debut.  Here at WBKR, we are loving Kree's lead-off single, "All Cried Out," and we recently caught a live version of i

On Tuesday night, Jim Ed Brown, like he has for fifty years, stood in the famed circle at The Grand Ole Opry.  He announced to the crowd that, for the first time in a long time, he was releasing a new single and he was doing it at the age of 79.  See, that's the ebb and flow of any career, but particularly a career in popular music.  Over the course of three decades (the 50's, 60's and 70's), Jim

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 als

Love this!  Owensboro native Natasha Neely recently had the chance to help The Grand Ole Opry wish Brad Paisley a happy 40th birthday.  They needed a Marilyn Monroe look-a-like to deliver a very special, breathy birthday song to Brad.  And Natasha delivered.  But, as the Opry proved, looks can be VERY deceiving.  WATCH THIS!

On Tuesday, WBKR got a jump start on the 2012 CMA Music Festival by heading down to Nashville for The Grand Ole Opry's annual Opry Plaza Party.  As it is every year during our broadcast, Carrie Underwood's official Fan Club Party was going on inside and hundreds of devoted Carrie fans were there for a special meet-and-greet and private concert performance.  After the party ended, those fans storme
