Ultimate Twang

  • Thursday 4-7pm
Genre: 
Country

It's a trip back in time to those days in your daddy's pickup truck, with the George Jones, and Waylon Jennings 8-tracks playing; or to the times in your grandmother's kitchen, drinking an RC, eating too many Smarties, Mary Janes, or Tootsie Rolls, with Eddy Arnold or Kitty Wells in the background. Perhaps it's the Hank Jr. or Alabama song that's part of the soundtrack for that special vacation, first baseball game, first car, or first love. Whether the year was 1993, 1973, or 1953; the memories return with Ultimate Twang. The reminiscent sounds of days past from the voices and pickers you loved, along with a few you might have forgotten about. Simply sit back and enjoy, as the gentle breezes of yesterday carry those long-lost sounds and events back to the forefront of your memories.

Wesley Tuttle "With Tears In My Eyes" 78 rpm

Last week, we remembered the legendary George Jones. This week, it's back to normal programming, with three hours of classic country music the way it used to be. This week's show may be just a tad different, as some computer issues, as well as illness have prevented your humble host from getting things fully prepared, but that won't stop the flow of favorites from years' past coming to you, this afternoon. Normally, here's where I tell you who to expect on the show, but the truth is, I don't even know, yet, other than Jimmy Dean' "I. O. U."; you have to play that for Mother's Day. Ah, but that's what's going to make it even more fun! You'll have to join me this afternoon at 4, for a journey into the unknown, Ultimate Twang style!

George Jones "You've Still Got A Place In My Heart" album

This past week, country music lost it's greatest singer, ever, in George Jones. This week's edition of the World Famous Ultimate Twang will be dedicated entirely to the life and music of "The Possum". You'll hear his classic hits, along with some that haven't been heard in years. The solo sounds, the duets, they will all be part of this week's tribute to George Jones. Make sure you join me, Thursday afternoon at 4 (Eastern), for this very special edition of Ultimate Twang.
