Join me this Sunday for Uncle Ed’s Country Den. This weekend I travel back in time 40 years to play country classics from the 1980s. I’ve got 2 in a row from Hank Williams Jr., both remakes of hits by his dad. A monster hit for Sylvia that you’ll remember from 1982, The Oak Ridge Boys scored with a song not inspired by a woman but a street name, along with the debut of Blue Rodeo; number one songs from Ricky Van Shelton, Sawyer Brown and Willie Nelson, thinking man’s country from Earl Thomas Conley; Michelle Wright is my Classic Country Legend who turned 60 on July 1st; a big start for Dwight Yoakam and Reba McEntire breaks through big time, as does Vern Gosdin and the country supergroup The Highwaymen.
All that and more on Uncle Ed’s Country Den, Sunday morning at 6 on Country 105, brought to you by Backstage, Thunder Bay’s newest music and accessory store at 215 Red River Road.
