KLAW Classic

Has it really been 17 years? Hard to believe, but it was May 18th, 1996 when Brooks & Dunn hit #1 with a song that B.W. Stevenson had on the pop charts in 1973.

T. G. Sheppard tops the chart 38 years ago today with today's KLAW Classic written by Lawton's own, Phil Sampson. 'I Loved 'Em Every One', was a tribute from the writer to every woman he had encountered and his appreciation, 'big or little, short or tall'...

Today's KLAW Classic is from the bi-centennial year of 1976.  It was the 5th #1 for Ronnie Milsap and started a string of 7 straight number ones in a row. From the album '20/20 Vision', here's your KLAW Classic 'What Goes On When The Sun Goes Down'...

Today's KLAW Classic is the 6th number one for the man country music refers to as the Gentle Giant. Don Williams hit the top of the country charts with "Some Broken Hearts Never Mend" on this day in 1977. Interestingly enough, Telly Savalas, yes that Telly Savalas (TV's Kojak) has success with the song as well...

A recent KLAW Classic from Kenny Rogers.  This song hit the top of the country charts on this day in the year 2000, and featured background singers Billy Dean and Alison Krauss. In fact, it was the only number one song to the credit of both of those background artists...

Mothers day is tomorrow. But I wanted to get a jump start on the celebration of mom's by playing some songs that are centered around mom.

Today's Classic comes from 15 years ago today and tells the tale of someone trying to get away from his blues, with a drink in both hands.

May 8th, 1993, Tracy Lawrence had the #1 song in the country. Two years earlier his life nearly ended.

John Michael Montgomery had the honor to hold the top spot on the Billboard Single of the Year, not just once, but twice with his hits 'I Swear, and 'Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)'. He also reached the top of the country charts 5 more times from the 30 singles that he has released in his career...

All morning we will pay tribute to George Jones.  The "Possum" was laid to rest this past Thursday at Woodlawn Cemetery in Nashville after a two and one half hour service that included many country stars talking about George and their favorite memories.

Our final day of honoring the legend George Jones on his passing one week ago today.

Day 3 in our tribute to the late George Jones.  Today's song was written by Bobby Braddock and inspired by a TV commercial chronicling the life of a handgun going from owner to owner.  Braddock used that concept this time with a wedding band.
