this day in country music history

Before we kick of Acadiana's Largest Cocktail party, I would like to send a big ole Happy Birthday out to the one and only...

As we party to our classic country favorites, I can't help but wonder. What were some of our favorite country legends up to 20, 30, even 40 years ago? According to CMT.com, something pretty great!

What was the song with the incredibly long title that put B.J. Thomas on top of the Country Charts this day in 1975? It's one of the best sing along while drinking songs ever recorded if you ask me.

It was 1968, dresses were getting shorter the moral code of the land was loosening and one Nashville songstress captured the moment in a song so big it spawned a TV series, a movie and a variety show.

It's always fun to know your roots. That's why we try to keep you reminded of some of the greats of yesteryear with features like the Bark Back Game every weekday afternoon with Stephanie Crist and Classic Country Saturday Night with Big Paul.

It's a beautiful day in Acadiana today and it's going to be a fantastic night tonight as we bring you the Classic Country Saturday Night show.

On this date in country music history it was a pretty big one as some of the all-time great songs peaked at #1 on the charts.

As we gear up for another edition of Classic Country Saturday Night with our pal Big Paul, we thought it would be fun to take a look back.

Chris Logan is getting ready to blow off some dust on the ole records and play the greatest music ever recorded. Classic Country Saturday Night gets cranked up at 6pm and the party doesn't stop till midnight...or whenever the cooler is emptied.
