KLAW Classic

The name of the album, 'The Storyteller' is so appropriate for almost every song in the Tom T. Hall song library.

Ronnie Milsap landed 40 #1 songs in his career in Country Music.

It's birthday #72 for Classic Country artist Ray Stevens.  Stevens is know for some great humorous songs, including Ahab the Arab, The Streak, and more, but he also had success with serious songs.

Today's KLAW Classic was co written by Trey Bruce, son of Ed Bruce, and Russell Smith, one of the members of the Amazing Rhythm Aces.

Today's KLAW Classic comes once again from the mighty Merle Haggard. 'Carolyn' was the #1 song in the land 41 years ago, in 1972.

Today's KLAW Classic was the 5th #1 for John Conlee! Conlee, who begain singing at the age of ten, didn't immediately follow that dream to stardom.

Merle Haggard's 'Kentucky Gambler' was the #1 song 38 years ago today, January 18th, 1975. That's just one of the nearly 40 songs he's taken to the top of the charts. He's had a bunch that got close to #1, too.

Happy 58th Birthday to Steve Earle!  Born in a military hospital in Virginia, Steve grew up mainly in the San Antonio Texas area and began playing guitar at the age of 11.

Today's K-LAW Classic celebrates the 70th birthday of Ronnie Milsap, with a song that hit #1 on January 16th, 1982.

Thirty Six years ago, Crystal Gayle was in the midst of what would be 18 #1 records, and achieving international success.
