^"I'd Be Better Off In A Pine Box" is just a killer song. I still listen to this song now and then. I have quite an emotional attachment to this song form my childhood that I'll never be able to forget.

Also glad to see "Desperately" by George on that list sabre14! Have you heard the original version by Bruce Robison? Used to hear it quite a bit down here in Texas. Give it a listen and see what you think. Bruce has two versions out there, one slow and one fast paced.

I have heard the slow paced one by Bruce, and I did like it and just listened to it again now and it is very very good. But just now is the first time I heard the fast paced one. I do enjoy it for the most part, but I liked his slower version better. Bruce is an amazing songwriter. Feel like listening to "Wrapped" now. ;)

"I'd Be Better Off In A Pine Box" is one of my all-time favorite songs. I remember my Dad playing it for me when I was a kid. I had taken a liking to "In A Different Light" which WYRK still played back then on a once in a while basis, but never had heard "Pine Box" to that point. One of the best true blue country songs ever released IMO. Thanks for the feedback. Greatly appreciated. :)

[tim]

^George definitely does the song justice and yes the slower version is how the song should be. I had to go back and listen to his version of "Angry All the Time." I think I'm partial to his over Tim's but both are good. He's such an amazing songwriter.

[Andy]

"I'd Be Better Off (In a Pine Box)" is a great song. I actually didn't hear it until relatively later in life, because the only Doug Stone songs radio would ever play were "A Different Light" and "Why Didn't I Think of That". Those songs are great too, but I wished they'd mix it up a little.

Bruce Robison is just a beast songwriter. His recordings are really good too. I actually prefer his versions of "Angry All the Time" and "Travelin' Soldier."

^ Looks like a fairly mainstream station. All but one song is new or recent.

[Deleted]

I was listening to KMLE last night and a song came on, laced with an awesome fiddle solo at the beginning. It sounded somewhat familiar and yet my first thought was that it must be a new artist [naively] trying to push a traditional song to radio. Because with most songs, if I've heard them a lot before, I'm instantly familiar with them as soon as they start playing.

Turns out, it wasn't a new artist. Turns out, it was a song I was very familiar with. But I almost spit out my pop while I was driving as soon as I heard Natalie Maines start singing the lyrics to "Wide Open Spaces".

I don't know about the rest of you, but I haven't heard a Dixie Chicks song--not a single one--on any radio station since 2002. I'm certain of it. And so that's why I at first thought "oh, this has to be some great new traditional song" because I was not expecting to hear a Dixie Chicks song, even though I listen to their music a lot when I'm on my laptop.

Granted, I haven't been listening to radio that much lately, but when I do, I never hear very many old songs, and certainly not any Dixie Chicks songs. But last night KMLE also snuck in Tim's "Real Good Man", and I've heard one of my all-time favorite songs--Kenny's "I Go Back"--on the radio each of the last 3 days.

Sort of off-topic I know, but I just had to share my little experience of hearing the Dixie Chicks once again. :)

I got in my truck about 8:20 and "Wagon Wheel" was playing (never gets old for me!) The rest of KMLE's playlist last night, through midnight:

8:25 "Drink To That All Night" - Jerrod Niemann ...at which point I flipped to KNIX ;) And then when "Drink To That All Night" came on KNIX only 2 minutes later, I flipped back to KMLE just as it was ending there, and then...
8:28 "Wide Open Spaces" - Dixie Chicks (and my jaw fell to the ground)
8:32 "I Hold On" - Dierks Bentley
8:35 "Beachin'" - Jake Owen
8:42 "Cop Car" - Keith Urban
8:46 "Real Good Man" - Tim McGraw
8:50 "Lettin' The Night Roll" - Justin Moore (I was back to my apartment right after Tim's song, so I missed the rest of the night, but I'll continue...
8:53 "Made In America" - Toby Keith
8:56 "Song About A Girl" - Eric Paslay
9:00 "Rewind" - Rascal Flatts
9:03 "Mama's Broken Heart" - Miranda Lambert
9:06 "Keep Them Kisses Comin'" - Craig Campbell
9:12 "Whatever She's Got" - David Nail
9:16 "Good Directions" - Billy Currington
9:19 "Give Me Back My Hometown" - Eric Church
9:23 "Drunk Last Night" - Eli Young Band
9:26 "Farmer's Daughter" - Rodney Atkins
9:29 "Doin' What She Likes" - Blake Shelton
9:33 "Chainsaw" - The Band Perry
9:40 "When She Says Baby" - Jason Aldean
9:43 "You And Tequila" - Kenny Chesney f/ Grace Potter
9:47 "Play It Again" - Luke Bryan
9:50 "What Kinda Gone" - Chris Cagle
9:57 "See You Tonight" - Scotty McCreery
10:00 "Runnin' Outta Moonlight" - Randy Houser
10:03 "Hope You Get Lonely Tonight" - Cole Swindell
10:09 "Bottoms Up" - Brantley Gilbert
10:12 "Honey Bee" - Blake Shelton
10:16 "Compass" - Lady Antebellum
10:19 "19 You + Me" - Dan + Shay
10:22 "She Won't Be Lonely Long" - Clay Walker
10:25 "Don't Ya" - Brett Eldredge
10:35 "Cop Car" - Keith Urban
10:39 "I'm Still A Guy" - Brad Paisley
10:43 "Get Me Some Of That" - Thomas Rhett
10:46 "Stuck Like Glue" - Sugarland
10:52 "Rewind" - Rascal Flatts
10:56 "Anywhere With You" - Jake Owen
10:59 "Yeah" - Joe Nichols
11:07 "Friday Night" - Eric Paslay
11:10 "Free And Easy" - Dierks Bentley
11:17 "Doin' What She Likes" - Blake Shelton
11:20 "Country Must Be Country Wide" - Brantley Gilbert
11:23 "Cruise" - Florida Georgia Line
11:31 "Drink A Beer" - Luke Bryan
11:35 "Good Girl" - Carrie Underwood
11:38 "Ready Set Roll" - Chase Rice
11:41 "I Got A Feelin'" - Billy Currington
11:44 "Drink To That All Night" - Jerrod Niemann
11:48 "Goodnight Kiss" - Randy Houser
11:54 "Boys 'Round Here" - Blake Shelton
11:58 "Lettin' The Night Roll" - Justin Moore

A few gems, but there are plenty of songs on there that I don't like at all...maybe more than half. Hence why I haven't been listening to the radio as much these days.

[sabre14]

^ Looks like a WYRK type playlist jhomes87. "You And Tequila", "What Kinda Gone", and "I'm Still A Guy" are the only one's I would have went "woah, haven't heard this one in a while".

Thanks for taking the time to list that though. Always interesting to view. :)

I can only get it streaming online at work, or when I am about 15 min south of my house. LOL. Here's what they played today between 12 and 1. Check out the variety!!!

11:56 Travis Tritt - T-R-O-U-B-L-E

I want this station! I haven't heard "Don't Stop" or "Someday" on the radio in forever.

[bboat11]

jhomes87, I have actually heard the Dixie Chicks a few times on my radio these past couple months! It has been "Cowboy Take Me Away" every time, so not much variety, but at least they are getting played every once in awhile! Also, I hear Kenny's "I Go Back" at least a couple times a week, and I usually only listen to the radio as I'm falling asleep. And I have not heard "Real Good Man" on the radio in awhile, but I have definitely heard "Where The Green Grass Grows" and "My Best Friend" several times the past couple months as well.

Also, yesterday I was going through my usual morning routine of struggling to wake up because bed is nice, when all of a sudden the exuberant steel guitar that heralds the arrival of none other than Martina McBride's "A Broken Wing" sprung forth from my radio. I just about had a kitten! Talk about instantly waking up and snapping to attention! I think it was sped up slightly, because the 6/8 time it is supposed to be in definitely felt like more of a swung 4/4, and her vibrato seemed quicker than normal... But it was still such a nice shock! The announcers came on right afterwards to talk about how it has probably been forever since we heard that song and it wasn't being butchered at some karaoke bar, and what an amazing vocalist Martina is, and how they would love to go see her in concert, and how they are so happy for her new album going #1, etc. I was left wondering why this is the first time I have heard her on the radio in like two years if they like her so much... Still, it was a very very nice moment!

And then, right afterwards a commercial came on that featured Jo Dee's "Dare To Dream" in the background! Let's just say, after that morning, I definitely had a great day :)

Then at 7 they did a new syndicated show called "Radio Texas" but I was headed back home by then so I didn't catch any of it. The DJ had been talking about it all afternoon, though, and said they just started it last Saturday and it got rave reviews from listeners...all kinds of red dirt Texas country music with some Americana mixed in.

I thought the playlist this afternoon was pretty good...I only muted it a couple of times (Thomas Rhett, Steve Holy, etc) ;)

Your station's playlists give me whiplash. They play songs back-to-back that are on the complete opposite ends of the 'country' music spectrum.

The fact that they played all those songs in just one hour is great. How I envy you. WYRK would never play those in a 10 hour period let alone 1.

I haven't heard "Trying To Stop Your Leaving" on any radio station since 2008.

[Ten Pound Hammer]

^ I've heard TTSYL at least twice in the past week alone, which is more times than I've heard 5-1-5-0 on the radio in a YEAR. Explain that one.

[sabre14]

^ Sorry, I can't because I still hear "5-1-5-0" on both The Highway and WYRK.

To be fair to WYRK, they do still spin "Only Prettier" by Miranda, "I Got You" by Thompson Square, and "Barefoot And Crazy" by Jack Ingram every once in a while...

[sabre14]

Today makes me glad I have a Sirius/XM subscription. They are once again doing a sneak preview of their internet only channel Y2K Country.

I found a tape of WKJC in Tawas City from New Year's Day 1997 starting around 5:30 PM. Here's what was on it:

Suzy Bogguss: "No Way Out"
Lari White: "That's How You Know (When You're in Love)"
George Ducas: "Every Time She Passes By"
Michelle Wright: "Take It Like a Man"
Trisha Yearwood: "Everybody Knows"
Lorrie Morgan: "Something in Red"
Tanya Tucker: "If Your Heart Ain't Busy Tonight"
Mark Chesnutt: "I'll Think of Something"
(At this point, the station switches to some anonymous syndicated show…)
David Lee Murphy: "Dust on the Bottle"
Alabama: "I'm in a Hurry (And Don't Know Why)"
LeAnn Rimes: "One Way Ticket (Because I Can)"
Tracy Lawrence: "Time Marches On"
Faith Hill: "Piece of My Heart"
Sammy Kershaw: "Politics, Religion, and Her"
Garth Brooks: "That Ol' Wind"
Dwight Yoakam: "Guitars, Cadillacs"
Mindy McCready: "Guys Do It All the Time"
Shenandoah: "The Church on Cumberland Road" (tape ends about 15 seconds from end of song)



And on a tape from my fifth birthday (March 10, 1992), from just before 7 AM to about 8:30 PM. It has a lot fewer songs because they also had news, weather, a country quiz, and a bunch of other things.

Collin Raye: "Every Second"
Carlene Carter: "Come On Back"
Randy Travis: "Better Class of Losers"
Ray Stevens: "Power Tools" (!!!) (I later called in a request for this in September for my first day of kindergarten)
Patty Loveless: "Hurt Me Bad (In a Real Good Way)"
Joe Diffie: "Is It Cold in Here"
Lorrie Morgan: "Except for Monday"
George Strait: "The Chill of an Early Fall"
Sammy Kershaw: "Don't Go Near the Water"
Reba McEntire: "For My Broken Heart"

The country station I listen to, WBRF, has a unique block of programming every afternoon from 5-6 pm. They call it the "Outlaw Drive at Five," and for an hour they play nothing but songs by outlaw artists. This was their playlist yesterday:

Ray Wylie Hubbard - Joyride
Hal Ketchum - She's Still In Dallas
Hank Williams, Jr/Waylon Jennings/Ernest Tubb - Leave Them Boys Alone
Last Train Home - Louisiana
Robert Earl Keen - Feelin' Good Again
Travis Tritt - T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Wild Horses - Ride Cowboy Ride
Joe Ely - Smack Dab In The Middle
Johnny Paycheck - Take This Job and Shove It
Ed Bruce - My First Taste of Texas
Kenny Vaughn - Country Music Got a Hold On Me
Gretchen Wilson/Merle Haggard - Politically Uncorrect
Sleepy LaBeef - Bright Lights, Big City

I don't have a specific playlist to post, but I did feel like this post best belonged here anyway.

On Friday and Saturday, I drove all the way from Phoenix back to my hometown in Iowa, as I'm done with school for the summer. Well, that's 2 full days of me all by myself driving, lol--plenty of time to listen to the radio!

I heard a lot of good stuff (and some bad, but oh well)...of course I heard a lot of the popular songs of today but there were also some stations I came across that were playing brand new music that I hadn't heard yet, and one station in eastern New Mexico was branded as "George & Friends Country", and the only stuff they played was George Strait, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, early Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson, Clint Black, Brooks & Dunn, Faith Hill, Jo Dee Messina, early Martina, etc. I mean it was basically all the big hits of the 90's (and even some from the 80's) but it was just cool/interesting that it was branded as "George & Friends". I haven't yet tried to figure out what the call letters for that station were, though.

Then when I was in northern Kansas and southern Nebraska, I found two really good stations. One of them (I think it was out of the Kearney area) played a really good mix. They played at least 50 minutes of music every hour, and at least 1 of the songs was always a classic song from the 80's or early 90's. That station didn't fade out for a good 3 hours or so of driving time...the 3 "old" songs I heard were George's "Ace In The Hole", Randy Travis' "1982", and Reba's "Fancy". They also mixed in the occasional big 'gold' hit from the 90's or early 00's.

But I also heard songs that we are barely talking about at Pulse yet (because they are so brand new)...songs like Colt Ford's "Workin' On", Tate Stevens' "Better At Night", Brett Eldredge's "Mean To Me", Thompson Square's "I Can't Outrun You" (and they played "Testing The Water" too), Sunny Sweeney's "Bad Girl Phase", Chase Bryant's "Take It On Back", Kristian Bush's "Trailer Hitch", and a few others that have only just been released to radio. Additionally, they played all the hits, from "Beachin'" to "I Got A Car" to "Roller Coaster" to "American Kids", etc. What I did notice is that they hardly played any bro-country at all.

It was an incredible station. So much music, hardly any commercials, and an incredible amount of variety.
