I just wanted to wish everyone a happy 2013! I hope you’ve had a most wonderful holiday season, and as it wraps up, I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of things, here, with more Classic Album Reviews, Ultimate Twang Radio Shows, and much more! I’m hoping to have some new things, this year, to make your visits even more fun, as well. Thanks for your support!
Here’s what I recommend; doing something Christmasy while listening; perhaps present wrapping or knocking back some eggnog.
So, if you’ve never partaken in The World Famous Ultimate Twang, before, you’re saying, “How can I join the fun?” It’s simple; simply click on Asheville Free Media, and it will take you to their home page. Once there, simply go to the upper right side, where you’ll see a red bar saying, “Listen live.” Simply click on the hi-fi (preferred) or lo-fi, to hear it through Windows Media, ITunes, or Media Monkey. If you click on the gray play button, you can listen directly from the site. And, if you can’t be with us during the live event, then make sure you visit the Ultimate Twang page at Asheville Free Media’s site, starting tomorrow, where you can hear the archived version, anytime, over the following week.
The holiday fun kicks off at 4p, Eastern, today!

The best time of the week is upon us, once again. It's the time when we twang things up with some golden nuggets from the past. As always, nearly all of the eras are represented, as we spin the gold from the greatest names, as well as a few forgotten ones. And who's in this week's lineup? How about this for an all-star review.... Porter Wagoner Buck Owens Charley Pride Tammy Wynette The Carter Family Anne Murray Blake Shelton Charlie Rich Conway & Loretta John Michael Montgomery Johnny Cash Ronnie Milsap David Houston Alabama Eddy Arnold Donna Fargo And that merely scratches the surface! As always, the UT Time Machine is oiled up and ready to roll, heading back to this week in 1985, 1970, and 2000. And as always, we'll throw in a little inspirational sounds, as well, this week from Burl Ives, Glen Campbell, & The Forester Sisters. The elections are over, and it's time to reunite everyone with some awesome sounds from the glorious past of country music.
To listen to the program, simply click on the name Asheville Free Media. Once you are there, just go to the upper right side of the site, and click on listen live. Clicking on hi-fi or lo-fi in the red bar, will enable you to listen through ITunes, Windows Media, Media Monkey, etc. Or, click on the gray play button to listen directly off the site.

Today's show is packed with great music that will once again, creep into the far reaches of the memory, bringing back old familiar feelings and images from times long ago. It doesn't really matter what era is your fave, as we have something for everyone, today. For those old enough to remember, there's 1940's and 1950's sounds from Lefty Frizzell, Cowboy Copas, Carl Smith, Eddy Arnold, and Johnny Cash. If it's 1960's and 1970's for you, then you'll like what's on tap from Conway Twitty, Brenda Lee, Waylon, and Bobby Bare, among others. And for the fans of the 1980's and 1990's, you certainly won't feel left out with some solid sounds from Garth Brooks, Daryle Singletary, George Strait, Charly McClain, and Tanya Tucker. So when does this cornucopia of classics begin? Today at 4p EST, exclusively, on Asheville Free Media. http://ashevillefm.org

Greetings from beautiful Asheville. Here's the latest from the World Famous Ultimate Twang blog. Since our last post, here, several more albums have been added to our Classic Album Review series. The latest is a look back at Eddy Arnold's 1968 release, The Everlovin' World Of Eddy Arnold, his last #1 LP. Is it good? Come over to find out. Scrolling down to the next page, you'll see our look back at a 1958 Ferlin Husky release, Sittin' On A Rainbow. It's an album of pop standards, performed in a swinging pop style, but with Ferlin at the mike. Mismatch or nice surprise? And we've also checked out the 1990 Desert Rose Band release, Pages Of Life.
In addition, make sure you check out the Singles Of The Day. The most recent being Connie Smith's 1973 top ten, "Ain't Love A Good Thing". This was her first top ten hit after joining the Columbia roster.
