Ultimate Twang

At 4p, this afternoon, we shall embark on another journey into the past, where records regularly spun, TV was actually good, and gas was a whole lot cheaper. On today's show, it's quite a lineup of great hits that I've pulled from the UT vaults. There's superstars, including Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Waylon, Buck Owens, and Ray Price. Bluegrass? Bill Monroe and Alison Krauss will fill that. As always, too, a few "forgotten songs" or as we like to call them, "almost hits", from the likes of Sonny James, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Juice Newton. Look for some classic album tracks from Kitty Wells, Charley Pride, and Nat Stuckey. And this weeks' show even has a local connection, as you'll hear a track from the late Fred Kirby from the Tweetsie Railroad and Charlotte radio and TV.
So, here's your tasks for the day....
1. Call or email everyone you know and let them know The World Famous Ultimate Twang is on at 4p EST.
2. Get drinks and snacks ready.
3. Get the computer ready.
4. Get comfortable.
5. Enjoy the show!

You gotta like that pic, after all, Ernest Tubb was da' man! Well, friends and fellow Twangers and Twangettes, it is show day, today, and the lineup, this afternoon, is, how do I put this....awesome. Ernest will be a part of it, along with Ronnie Milsap, Kitty Wells, Statlers, Dolly, Garth, Conway, Webb Pierce, Hank Jr., and Loretta Lynn, amongst the mass of dusty discs pulled from the once-hot stax of wax.
As Billy Mays might have said, "But wait, there's more!" The UT Time Machine is rolling back to this week in 1995, 1984, and 1973.
We'll throw in a few vintage commercials, a few "almost hits" and you're going to experience quite a show, today.
The fun starts a 4p EST, this afternoon, and runs until 7. So get your leftover Super Bowl snacks out, warm them up (if needed), turn the speakers on your computer way up (do this ONLY w/speakers, not headphones. Don't want to go deaf, plus w/speakers, everyone can enjoy!), kick back and experience Ultimate Twang.

Not the TV show from the 1960's, but rather today's show, it seems, as several family acts will be popping up on today's show. That would include The Everly Brothers; The Forester Sisters; Waylon Jennings and his wife, Jessi Colter; along with three other wedded couples, Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan; Johnny & Jonie Mosby; and Carl and Pearl Butler.
But it's not all just family. Got Conway Twitty in line, vintage Al Dexter, some Tim McGraw, Holly Dunn, and Clint Black, to name a few.
And of course, the UT Time Machine is revved up, making stops to this week in 1958, 1969, and 1974.
4p is the start time, so set the alarm and be ready to crank up the speakers!
