Bakersfield Birthday Bash!

This week we're celebrating 400 episodes (!) of the show by playing a stack of that twangy, steel-rich brand of country music known as The Bakersfield Sound. We'll pack in as much West Coast country as we can this week til we run out of time - a tonne of the big Bakersfield names right through to the less-than-household figures. From Buck Owens and Merle Haggard to Roy Nichols and Tommy Collins - it's our Bakersfield Birthday Bash and it's gonna be twangalicious! Yes, that's a word (as of now).

Om Podcasten

Some call it old country; classic country; real country. We call it traditional country, and that's exactly what we do here at "If That Ain't Country". For three hours each week, we feature the very best traditional country, honky tonk, bluegrass and western swing from the golden years 'til today. It's pretty simple but we think you'll like it. Hosted by Western Red - it's US country with an Australian twist, keeping true to the traditions that make country great. With a genuine love and deep respect for the foundations of the genre, the legends are right alongside the best of today's independent artists - a mix you won't find anywhere else.
