Waylon Jennings

On Sept. 7, 1979, Jennings' 'Greatest Hits' album was certified platinum, for sales in excess of one million units.

Country music and patriotism have always gone hand in hand.

Sam Hunt covered Waylon Jennings' "Belle of the Ball" at a recent concert.

In the midst of an enormous controversy over some comments he recently made about outlaw country, Luke Bryan has offered an apology to the widow and son of Waylon Jennings.

Waylon Jennings' daughter-in-law has offered an angry response to the comments Luke Bryan made last week, perceived by some to be an attack on legendary country artists like Jennings, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard.

Country music is a very supportive genre, but that doesn't mean there aren't a few artists who just can't get along. Sometimes it's professional, sometimes it's personal. For country's most well-known feudsters, it was both.

Willie Nelson's famous braids will soon be available for purchase. The 'On the Road Again' singer's hair will be sold at an auction on Oct. 5, along with several other items owned by the late Waylon Jennings. Nelson gave Jennings' the hair after he cut it off in 1983 as a sign of support for his friend, when Jennings decided to become sober.

While he's not one himself, Darius Rucker knows who country's bad boys are!

If you're a Country Music fan, there's a good chance you grew up watching The Dukes Of Hazzard.

Yes, it's cool to be brand new and everything, but it's even MORE cool to be one of the few stations in the US to go almost half a century without changing formats.Who can say THAT?   WGNA went on the air on December 5th, 1973 and still going strong. Now THAT's something to sing about!

In honor of the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, I decided to break out a great patriotic country song and video for this weeks edition of Flashback Friday. This week we go back to 1984 for a Top 10 hit from the late, great Waylon Jennings, "America".
