Howdy, friends! This week we’re setting sail on a timeless tune that’s crossed more waters than a well-traveled sailor. “The Water Is Wide” is a song with roots so deep, they practically touch the bedrock of folk music. And while Karla Bonoff might be our featured artist, she’s just one of many who’ve taken this […]
September 5, 2025 —– Chart #314 Howdy folks! This week we’re taking a little stroll down the wistful side of memory lane with a song that’s as tender as a country breeze and as bittersweet as a secret crush. “You Don’t Know Me” is one of those classics that’ll have you nodding along and maybe
August 29, 2025 —– Chart #313 Howdy, friends! It’s time for another musical ride down memory lane, and this week we’re hitching a ride with Glen Campbell on that long and winding road to Phoenix. Now, before we even dive into the song, let me just tip my hat to a fellow Arkansan. I grew
August 22, 2025 —– Chart #312 Hello Music Friends, Howdy, folks! We’re taking another stroll through Creedence Clearwater Revival territory this month because, let’s face it, you can never have too much CCR. We just dipped our toes into “Who’ll Stop the Rain” a couple of weeks ago, and now we’re heading straight into the
August 15, 2025 —– Chart #311 Hello Music Friends, Hey folks, welcome to another edition of Chart of the Week. Some folks dream of sandy beaches and turquoise seas. Me?

August 8, 2025 —– Chart #310 Dear Rainsoaked Ramblers, This week’s tune is a three-minute meditation on soggy parades, broken promises, and the kind of rain that isn’t just water but a metaphor with muddy boots and something to say. The song? “Who’ll Stop the Rain” by Creedence Clearwater Revival—a band that made Southern swamp
August 1, 2025 —– Chart #309 Dear Blues Travelers, Today’s tune is as thick and sultry as a Mississippi afternoon, the kind of song you play when the sky’s darkening, the bottle’s half-empty, and somebody just told you they’re leaving—again. We’re talking about “Feels Like Rain,” performed by the great Buddy Guy, a man who
July 25, 2025 —– Chart #308 Dear Smooth Operators, This week’s tune isn’t one you crank up on a road trip or play at a tailgate. No, this is what you cue up when the evening calls for dim lighting, chilled wine, and just enough jazz to sound like you might’ve gone to grad school.
July 18, 2025 —– Chart #307 Hello Music Friends, This week’s tune is a laid-back, two-steppin’ reminder that sometimes life moves too fast, and the best answer is to slow your roll, sip something brown, and start livin’ on Tulsa Time. Written by Danny Flowers, who was playing guitar with Don Williams at the time,
July 11, 2025 —– Chart #306 Hello Music Friends, This week we’re rolling back to 1964 with a tune that might’ve flown under your Beatles radar if you blinked too long while flipping A Hard Day’s Night over to Side B. It’s called “I’ll Be Back,” and like most Beatles songs, it packs more emotional
