I am happy that Gordon's music is not played on country music stations. Most of them only play the overproduced, overhyped top 40 pap that is endlessly repeated on mainstream country stations. Did anyone watch the CMA award show this year? Most of it made me want to barf!!
If you want to hear real county music, you have to look for a station that plays Americana. We fortunately have a great one here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, 95.3 FM, "The Range". Check it out on the internet at www.khyi.com.

Unfortunately, the Americana stations don't play Gordon either. I think part of the reason is that he limits his tours to the East and West coasts and upper midwest here in the US. He doesn't come to the Southeast or Southwest at all. He's only performed in Texas once in the 20 years that I have been here.
