Podcast Overview

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.

Box o' 45s: Rem Wall & The Green Valley Boys

<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/220420/001f73f9f6699268d6ab4dd72982c8f0f748f46e/original/rem-wall-show-art.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_s justify_right border_" height="492" />In this week's episode we're remembering an extremely popular regional act who almost broke the big time save for a few noble family decisions: Rem Wall & The Green Valley Boys. The host of a long-running TV show out of Kalamazoo, Michigan, Rem Wall made some great honky tonk during his years with Glenn Records (Hammond, IN) and later Columbia. Poised to enjoy national success, Wall opted to stay put and lived out his career as a big fish in a relatively small pond. His recordings tell the tale of a man who had "it" as much as the next guy on the Nashville hit list so let's get digging into this week's box o' 45s!

Ep. 602 - Hugh X. Lewis - Country Fever

<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/220420/766e0d0cb00689f5db699e162bbb142661cad832/original/hugh-x-lewis.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_s justify_right border_" height="639" />In this week's episode we're featuring Kentucky's Hugh X. Lewis' fourth album for Kapp Records: "Country Fever" (1968). A high school buddy and his songwriting chops lead him to Nashville in 1963 and after Paul Cohen signed him to Kapp, Lewis cut some super material through our feature album's release (which was his last for the label). Lewis' wrote or co-wrote nine of his fifteen charting singles so it's no surprise his hand is prolific on "Country Fever" (particularly the B-side) and it's a better album for it.

Ray Pillow - Even When It's Bad It's Good!

<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/220420/e72d9ebd157f62747e6579a5ba581216c87f451e/original/ray-pillow.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_s justify_right border_" height="645" />In this week's episode we're featuring an album from the wonderful Ray Pillow: "Even When It's Bad It's Good!" (1967). From Lynchburg, Virginia and a Grand Ole Opry favourite for more than fifty years, Pillow's rich and smooth baritone drew comparisons to Dean Martin over his long career. And though he hailed from Virignia, folks often thought he was Texan for his love of country shuffles. Our feature album delivers in spades and proves Pillow's back catalogue is well worth digging into.
