59th #1 Hit For George Strait

Joe Bob — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 17:22:29 +0000

George Strait has been a great country singer for a long, long time. Back in the 70s, he plyed a place in San Marcos called Cheatham Street Warehouse. If you would wash out a tuna fish can so they could use it for an ash tray, you could get in to see George and the Ace In The Hole Band. Even then, he was a really good country singer. Still is.

"I Don't Want This Night To End" #1 for Luke Bryan

Joe Bob — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:49:02 +0000

This is a really strange and fickle business. I actually had people tell me... people in positions of power and responsibility in the country music industry... That "Country Girl (Shake It For Me) was DOA and never going anywhere on the charts. Here's the strange part... I heard the same thing about "I Don't Want This Night To End". I guess it's good that I don't listen too well.

Respect from your peers and validation are very important, even if you’re a successful country singer.

Taylor Swift Has Another #1 With "Sparks Fly"

Joe Bob — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 22:29:47 +0000

It’s my job to listen to the listeners. That means you. I take into account what you have to say about every artist we play (or don’t play) on KIXS 108. It seems to me, at least from what I’ve heard you say, that you either love Taylor Swift or you don’t care for her [...]

"Here For A Good Time" Is George Strait's 58th #1 Hit

Joe Bob — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 21:27:29 +0000

From the ‘hometown boy does good’ file… George Strait has done it again! I’m not sure who actually picks his material, but for a guy who doesn’t write (well, he doesn’t write very much, anyway), he’s done really well during this era of the ‘singer-songwriter’. It just so happens that Strait has a co-writing credit on [...]

King George Hits Number 1 Again

Joe Bob — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 19:45:41 +0000

Yesterday I was talking about “what happened to” artists, specifically Big and Rich. There’s one country artist that you won’t have to ask that question about for many years to come. George Strait has one of the most, if not the most, impressive track record of all time among country artists. I won’t go into detail [...]
