KLAW Classic

Your KLAW Classic today is from one of the most awarded duo's of all time.  They had no desire to be a duo, but were put together by a producer, and the rest, as they say, is country music history.

Today's KLAW classic was the 2nd Number One song for Clint Black, and eventhough nominated for the song of the year in 1989, it lost out to 'A Better Man'.

Who cannot love Merle Haggard?  Anytime, any day!  How about a little Merle for your Monday Holiday?

Today's KLAW classic was written by Kris Kristofferson but first recorded by someone you would have never thought of.

Today's KLAW Classic comes to us from 1993. The song is about a man who is about to be run off by his wife for his drinking ways. He asks for "one more last chance before you say we're through."

The very first number for Mel Tillis was actually a single by the song's co writer 13 years before it reached number one. Webb Pierce and Mel Tillis co wrote today's KLAW Classic 'I Aint Never', and Pierce recorded it and released it as a single...

Co-written and recorded by our Christmas baby Steven 'Noel' Wariner, 'I Got Dreams' marked the final time that Wariner topped the charts.

Ty Herndon performed in Lawton just a couple of years ago as part of the Cars 'n Guitars at the Comanche Nation Casino, but on this day in 1996, he had the number song in the land.

The song, 'San Antonio Rose' has been covered numerous times by numerous artists.  I was shocked to find out that the top selling version of this song was by Bing Crosby! In 1940, Bing's version sold over a million copies.  It was written and also recorded by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, in fact it became their signature song...

Quick, what does Jimmy Swaggart, small airplanes, and a country honky tonk have in common? The answer is the artist for today's KLAW Classic.

Tim McGraw has said that he doesn't like to do music videos very often, because he feels like the listeners have a picture in their mind when they hear a song and he doesn't want to interrupt that thought with his video.

Don Williams hit the top of the charts on this day way, way back in 1979.  It was the ninth number one for Williams.
