Local station #1 played That Summer the other mid-morning. They only play older stuff overnight so not sure how this happened. I actually thought it was on the #3 station here since they are classic country with a small amount of recent non-pop leaning stuff.

Heard Gretchen Wilson's new single "Summertime Town" not once, but twice this weekend while visiting family back home in Kansas City.

"Mama's Broken Heart" immediately followed by "I Could Use a Love Song" this morning on the way to work. I always do a double take when I hear two females back-to-back. Nothing beats the time I heard three in a row on a station here a few months back though.

I went to work yesterday and heard Road Less Traveled. On the way back from work, the same station played Doin' Fine.
Never thought I'd hear someone as low on the totem pole as Lauren Alaina TWICE in one day... and yet I still haven't heard any of the local stations play What Ifs...

Come thruuuuu Kansas stations, lol.

I actually thought it was on the #3 station here since they are classic country with a small amount of recent non-pop leaning stuff. So this station has started to mix in songs from the 90's and 00's since this post. Today it was Write This Down. I really like it and it makes it easy to not turn on the other station that only plays recent stuff.

I had FOUR from WATZ today: "Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses", "Daddy Won't Sell the Farm", "Troubadour", and "I'll Just Hold On". All the amount of time it took me to go to Burger King and the grocery store, then back.

On the way to work I heard "No Place That Far" by Sara Evans, and that totally made my day. I don't have any memory of ever hearing it on the radio before. I've heard "Shame About That" very randomly a couple times, but NPTF I don't remember having heard (and if I did, it was like 10 years ago). When I heard that piano intro hit after Taylor's "Our Song" ended I was like literally speechless and wanted to cry happy tears, lol.

WATZ plays "Shame About That" a lot, usually as a "we only have two minutes before the news" song (where most other stations would opt for "If I Could Make a Living"). They've also played "Three Chords and the Truth" more than a few times. Honestly, among all her singles, "Saints & Angels" is one I don't remember even in the slightest.

My local radio station played Silver Bells by Martina McBride today. Why is this a surprise? This station is the only station in my country that regulary play country songs (I think they have around 50 different songs and they play one or two of them every day - that's the reason I know "Two Piña Coladas" by heart xD). For the past couple of months I've been requesting for different songs from country artists. And every time I wanted something from Martina McBride they said that they don't have any of her songs (same goes for Reba, Miranda, Trisha...). So when I heard "Silver Bells" today I was very pleasantly surprised. I took a screenshot of this historical moment *Trenutno predvajamo = we are currently playing

Today, WATZ played "Letters Home" by the Forester Sisters and "A Tender Lie" by Restless Heart.
Basically, if you want at least one obscure mid-80s country song per hour, listen to WATZ.

The one that sticks in my craw is at the station I work at (KARP, a little station in Minnesota), 'Good Time' by Jessica Andrews keeps popping up. The song peaked at #49 on Billboard in 2003 and was four singles after Jessica Andrews' #1 'Who I Am'. The fact the song is even in our system is incredibly weird, nonetheless why it's getting thrown in to play.
A couple weeks ago, Prime Country (80's and 90's Country) played 'Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly' by Aaron Tippin. DJ Mike Terry continued to talk about it and it's patriotic nature. Found it really odd to play a song that was recorded after 9/11, so obviously past 1999, being played on the station and acknowledged by the DJ.

Accidentally discovered a local station last night that plays alot of obscure songs or less played and some album tracks. It's based off family, freedom and religion. Here's a sample of the stuff they've played:
Thank A Farmer-James Wesley Finding My Way Back Home-Lee Ann Womack Up To Him-Tracy Lawrence You Can Depend On Me- Restless Heart Oughta Be More Songs About That- Montgomery Gentry Man Of The House- Chuck Wicks Family Man- Craig Campbell Tender Lie- Restless Heart I Love You This Much- Jimmy Wayne I Came Here To Live-Trace Adkins He's Mine-Rodney Atkins Relentless- Jason Aldean Lead Me Home-Jamey Johnson

I don't get to listen to country radio overnight much, but you really get to hear some surprising songs when you do for any length of time. Last night I was driving across Missouri around 2am and heard all of these:
"Tough" - Kellie Pickler "Drink Myself Single" - Sunny Sweeney "Heaven South" - Brad Paisley "1982" - Randy Travis
And then I also heard one station play "Head Over Heels," "Dirty Looks," and "Ruin That for Me" all back-to-back-to-back. I guess if you play too many women in a row it won't matter if its buried in overnight play when there's only maybe a few dozen people listening.
