Country Throwback

Thanksgiving is upon us once again, so what better time to count our blessings with our Country Throwback?

I know what you're thinking.  How can I possibly do a Christmas song for my Country Throwback when it's not even Thanksgiving.  I agree it's early, but with the Christmas City Of The North Parade this week I think it's a perfect time.

It's the second weekend for deer hunting in Minnesota, and a week before the rifle opener in Wisconsin, so I thought my Country Throwback should honor the tradition of heading out to the woods.

With Veteran's Day approaching, and the 8th of November falling on Sunday, it's the perfect week for my Country Throwback to remember the Big & Rich tune of the same name.

While Halloween is still a couple of weeks away, it is the final weekend for Boo At The Zoo at the Lake Superior Zoo.  In honor of that, my Country Throwback features an Alan Jackson ghost story.

It's Fire Prevention Week, so I thought I better find a "fire" song for my Country Throwback.  This George Strait classic was the first song that came to mind and the title is also one of the last people you'd ever want to call.

Fall is definitely in the air this week, so I thought my Country Throwback should feature a song that brings this time of year to mind.  Not only does this song do that, but it is the song that solidified Reba as force to be reckoned with.

Next Friday Ken and Cathy will draw the grand prize winner of a brand new Honda Metropolitan scooter, worth over $2,000.  We've partnered with Rock Star Energy Drink to give this prize to a B105 listener, so my Country Throwback this week feels like a rock star.

As we approach another nice weekend, I decided to go with a feel-good song for my Country Throwback.  This Tim McGraw song spent multiple weeks as the number one song in the country 20 years ago, and was used a lot during Monday Night Football halftime highlight sequences.

With all the kids now back in school, I thought about my Country Throwback and which song set in a school or about school would be great to honor.  There's the third grade surroundings of George Strait's "Check Yes Or No" or the classic "Harper Valley PTA".

As you know, Chris Young is bringing his "I'm Comin' Over" tour to Duluth's Amsoil Arena on December 3rd.  With tickets currently on sale, I thought it would be a perfect time to use my Country Throwback to remember his very first single.

This weekend in Minong, Wisconsin is the Northwoods Music Festival.  The lineup includes Trace Adkins, Rodney Atkins, Jana Kramer, Gloriana, David Lee Murphy and Bucky Covington.  For my Country Throwback this week I thought I'd focus on Bucky's debut hit, which is still his biggest.
