Song Of The Day #400

For our 400th offering here at Ranch Radio we give you Buck Owen's 1959 recording of Second Fiddle.

Song Of The Day #399

Ranch Radio forgot Swingin' Monday last week, and since many are here after a long weekend, we'll give you a Triple Whammy of up tempo tunes to get your week started.

Today we'll feature Kina Lankford and her 10 track CD Copenhagen Kisses.

Looking at the three songs, the first is something I've spent many hours trying to prevent, the second has happened many times and the third just swings.

The tunes are Peeling Labels, Copenhagen Kisses, and Songs About Saturday Night.

Song Of The Day #398

For our Gospel song this Sunday morning Ranch Radio will go back to 1935 and the Sons of the Pioneers recording of Oh There's Power (In The Blood).

Song Of The Day #397

Ranch Radio will close this week of country/bluegrass mix with Hawkshaw Hawkins and Reno & Smiley performing If It Ain't On The Menu, Barefoot Nellie, I Wanna Be Hugged To Death By You and Lonesome Wind Blues.

Song Of The Day #396

Ranch Radio continues with our country/bluegrass mix as they used to be played on country radio stations. Today's artists are Hank Snow and Mac Wiseman performing The Engineer's Child, Remembering, Golden Rocket and Crazy Blues.

Song Of The Day #395

Today Ranch Radio features Cowboy Copas doing the country and Jimmy Martin & The Sunny Mtn. Boys doing the bluegrass.

Song Of The Day #394

In the 40s, 50s and some cases into the 60s country music stations played bluegrass music right alongside country. Ranch Radio will try to re-create that sound for the rest of the week.

We'll begin with Hank Williams and Flatt & Scruggs from the year 1949. The tunes are You're Gonna Change or I'm Gonna Leave (March), Down The Road (May), My Bucket's Got A Hole In It (August) and Foggy Mountain Breakdown (December).

Song Of The Day #393

Ranch Radio takes a look at the classic sound of traditional bluegrass this week.

We'll start with Bill Monroe and The Blue Grass Boys performing Toy Heart and Will You Be Lovin' Another Man.

The tunes are from 1949 and 1946, and I picked them because Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs were in the band. The sound of Flatt singing lead and Monroe singing harmony was never equaled in traditional bluegrass. If only they could have stayed together, but it was not to be.

Song Of The Day #392

Ranch Radio has been remiss in not offering very much in the traditional bluegrass sound, and we are going to right that wrong this week.

We'll start with our Gospel song this week by Carter & Ralph Stanley - the Stanley Brothers - and their rendition of Four Books In The Bible.

Most of their library is available here, although this particular song is not all that easy to find.

Song Of The Day #391

Out West week on Ranch Radio continues with Johnny Bond and Elton Britt, performing Texas Cannonball and Pinto Pal respectively.

You will find the tunes on the three CD box set Songs Of The Golden West - Tumbling Tumbleweeds, which has a total of 75 tracks. It is apparently not available at Amazon.com.

Song Of The Day #390

Today Ranch Radio presents Trailin' by Ray Whitley's Range Ramblers.

You will find the tune on a CD by various artists put out by Bronco Buster Records titled In The West Where Life Is Free.

Hot damn I like this kind of music.

Song Of The Day #389

Ranch Radio stays Out West with The Ridge Runnin' Roan by Glen Rice.

Song Of The Day #387

It's Swingin' Monday on Ranch Radio, where we bring you a tune to get your heart started for the week.

Today's selection is Choo Choo Ch' Boogie by Asleep At The Wheel.

It's on their Swingin' Best of CD.

Song Of The Day #386

Ranch Radio's Gospel song this Sunday morning is Martha Carson's 1952 recording of There Is A Higher Power.

Song Of The Day #385
