With the exception of KERA 90.1 and KNON 89.3, Dallas radio has been a cold, empty place, completely devoid of decent music since the George Gimarc days of KDGE 94.5. Now a bright shining star has made an appearance: KZPS “Lone Star” 92.5 has changed its format from Classic Rock to Americana/Root Rock. In just a short trip running errands today I heard Ryan Adams, Black Crowes (they play a lot of Crowes), and Slobberbone. Todd Snider gets a ton of play as well as does Son Volt, particularly tracks off of their recent release, The Search. What’s even more amazing to me is that this is a Clear Channel station. If you like alt-country or Americana, give them a listen.

Wow. George Gimarc. I haven’t heard his name in a long time. Indeed, Lone Star is a healthy replacement for “The Bone”. If you like your alt-country a little more Austin and less Nashville, KHYI 95.3 “The Range” is always a fun listen. In fact, you’ll hear more Willie there (unless you count all the promos he does for Lone Star). Regardless, those two buttons are getting worn out in my car.
crowes? gross.
