There’s also TuneIn Radio as a streaming alternative.
Looking for a classic C/W radio station
- Thread starter Whilliam
- Start date
Now don't take this wrong, as I love Allison Krause. She has an angelic voice. But saying that her version is better than Keith Whitley is indeed heresy. Whitley was brilliant.

I'm going to humbly recommend WSM 650 from my hometown of Nashville, TN. A 50,000 watt powerhouse that's been broadcasting the Grand Ole Opry for about the last 95 years, the "OG" of country radio stations
wsmradio.com
I'm going to also recommend an independent radio station from the other end of the state, WDVX, "East Tennessee's Own" that has some outstanding programming, and I always make it a point to listen to them on my frequent travels through Knoxville.
And then I would be remiss if I didn't mention the Birthplace of Country Music museum in nearby Bristol. They have a full time radio station that is excellent, just click the "listen now" button on the link.

And finally, just to prove that there are still modern artists doing legit old time country, check out young Mr. Vaden Landers & Brody Hunt, who are just a couple of the many talented musicians in a burgeoning traditional country music scene in the town where I am fortunate enough to reside. I guess I should preface that by saying it was burgeoning pre pandemic. These guys and several other similar types were playing regular gigs in our little mountain town every weekend.

Traditional country music is alive and well and in very capable hands of today's young artists. Unfortunately you just don't hear them on many of the mainstream country stations that play the garbage put out by Luke Bryant, Blake Shelton, or Taylor Swift.

KHYI has a certain Texas bent to it, and there will be some modern "red dirt" country, but it was my daily listen for the entirety of my time in the DFW area. Anybody who plays "Mandatory Merle" songs is okay in my book.
