Western Red

Some call it old country; classic country; real country. We call it traditional country, and that's exactly what we do here at "If That Ain't Country". For three hours each week, we feature the very best traditional country, honky tonk, bluegrass and western swing from the golden years 'til today. It's pretty simple but we think you'll like it. Hosted by Western Red - it's US country with an Australian twist, keeping true to the traditions that make country great. With a genuine love and deep respect for the foundations of the genre, the legends are right alongside the best of today's independent artists - a mix you won't find anywhere else.

In this week's episode, we're featuring an energetic western swing outing from young Texan Kristyn Harris, "Down The Trail" (2015). Based in the Lone Star State, but taking bookings from coast to coast and even further afield - Kristyn Harris' brand of western and western swing music is infectious. Throw in some artful yodelling, a big smile you can hear when she sings and a healthy respect for tradition and you can understand her popularity. A student of those western and western swing singers and musicians that came before, as well as lending her own pen to multiple numbers, "Down The Trail" is a winner from front to back. Highlights include her own "Acres Of Nowhere", a breathless cover of "I've Been Everywhere (In Texas)" and the rollicking "Thank Heavens For Dale Evans". This week's episode also features two live tracks and interview audio from Kristyn, who was kind enough to donate a few minutes of her time to have a chat with us before the Pro Cowboy Country Music Awards in 2018. Keep an eye on this one, she's going places.
