I'm usually careful to say flatly "I like country music" because there is alot of terrible terrible country music out there. And most of it is "popular" so when I say I like country, I only like a certain slice of it. (I have similiar sentiment for dogs and children, actually)
And until I visited Big D last month, I didn't know that others enjoyed this specific category and that there is actually a radio station dedicated to it.
They call it "Hard Country" I'll use that term from now on.
Here's a sample of what they play:
Jeffrey Foucault: Ghost Repeater
Randy Rogers: Kiss Me in The Dark
Johnny Cash: God's Gonna Cut You Down
Radny Foster: Half of My Mistake
The Elms: Black Peach
Solomon Burke: Aint Got You
Pat Green: Way Back Texas
Ray Wylie Hubbard: Rabbit
Todd Snider: Looking for A Job
They throw in a little old school soul, a little underground christian and a dash of Johnny Cash. I'm smitten.

I remember KHYI, from back in the days, was Y95 and competed with KISS-FM (106.1) in contemporay/pop from the mid- to late-80's.
Then, I remember hearing it being "Sunny 95" (not sure if the Sunny part is the correct spelling), but I have no idea the timeframe on that.
Great Station!! Great Post! The Range is undeniable.
