This show was unique in a couple of ways. One way is that most of the music was selected by Marti -- not just Marti's Bunkhouse, but the whole show. Another way is that we played a half-hour Roy Rogers Show radio program from 1953 -- a first for Red Rooster Party.

A good portion of the first hour consisted of mostly obscure classic country recordings from well-known artists like Johnny Horton, Hardrock Gunter, Ray Price, and Hank Snow, with a few well-known chestnuts thrown in for fun. We did catch a few old recordings from Kentucky old time musicians, and some comedy from Jerry Clower and Andy Griffith.

The second hour, typically the time for Marti's Bunkhouse, began with The Roy Rogers Show from new years day 1953, and transitioned to a couple of great sets of Western music. We closed with some radio transcriptions from The Carter Sisters with Mother Maybelle and Chet Atkins, and a real poignant song about cowboys from the awe-inspiring cowboy singer Don Edwards.
We hope you enjoyed what your heard. If Marti continues programming Red Rooster Party shows, we may ask WHUS to keep it on through the fall.
