Hope you'll join us Saturday morning!

Garage Vinyl (Pops and Scratches Included!)

Returning to those thrilling days of yesteryear — Swing ’n’ Country fires up their analog turntable to present two-hours of mostly forgotten, well-worn LPs and 45 rpm records.

During Hours One and Three, you’ll hear carefully curated country music selections which have sat for years in a garage, inside a vintage orchard crate that Robert Parish acquired during the Nixon administration.

The non-digital festivities kick off around 6:05 a.m. with a full tracking of “5’LL Getcha Ten,” an album from the 1970’s “southern rock” band Cowboy. In the 8:00 a.m. hour, the turntable speed cranks up to 45 rpm, and features fast-spinning platters from David Allen Coe, The Seldom Scene, Jerry Jeff Walker, The Byrds, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, June Carter, The Blue Ridge Rangers, and Jose Feliciano.

Graham Parish and his sidekicks, taking a break to celebrate an important birthday and the end of the school year, appear via transcription (recorded June 2023) in Hour Two. Graham presents a country music soundtrack from several Quentin Tarantino films.

Charlie Rich was simultaneously one of the most critically acclaimed and most erratic country singers of post-World War II. Throughout his career, Rich willfully bended genres, fusing country, jazz, blues, gospel, rockabilly, and soul. Charlie had 45 country hits in a career that spanned nearly four decades. Instead of embracing the stardom those records brought him, Rich shunned it, retreating into semi-retirement. Tune in to KBOO.FM Saturday, 6:00am to 9:00 am, (PST) as we highlight Charlie Rich. .
