Pop Goes The Country

There was a time when your favourite local radio station and DJ would play the best music that was out there - period! You could hear a jazz-tinged song (Girl From Ipanema), Rhythm and Blues (Duke Of Earl), Pop (Sherry, Remember Walkin' In The Sand), MOR (Strangers In The Night), and all on the same station! You'd also hear Country (Ring Of Fire, Rose Garden, He'll Have To Go, King Of The Road etc.) Those days are long gone now. However, every week on Treasure Island Oldies you can still hear the best oldies music from whatever style was popular. And from time to time, we focus on one particular style of music for one of our specials.

This week on Treasure Island Oldies it's Pop Goes The Country. These are country songs first and foremost, but they crossed over onto the pop charts and became pop hits. Be sure to listen for your favourite country artists this week: Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, Lynn Anderson, Tammy Wynette, Don Gibson, Johnny Cash and many, many more.

We'll be live as usual this Sunday, October 15 from 6 to 10 p.m. Pacific, 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Eastern. Join us for Pop Goes The Country on Treasure Island Oldies, the oldies music radio show that gives you more of what you want to hear! Yahoo!!!
