Decca Delights with Nate Gibson on Back to the Country WORT 89.9FM 7/13/22

Howdy Friends, Tomorrow morning from 9am-noon (CST) I'll be back on the airwaves hosting Back to the Country. It recently occurred to me that I have previously created BTTC shows about RCA Victor, Capitol Records, Columbia Records, and even Mercury Records, but I have yet to do a show that focuses on the fifth major label of the '50s--Decca Records--and all of their amazing country music contributions. UNTIL NOW!


Last week I pulled together a bunch of Decca Records from my collection, cleaned them all up, got them all in their release-appropriate company sleeves, found a box to put them all in, organized them by release number, and I will be bringing that newly organized box of Decca sunshine to the WORT studio tomorrow morning to spin for you my very favorite 45s from the label: Brenda Lee, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Ernest Tubb, Hank Garland, Kenny Roberts, Hoagy Carmichael, Salty Holmes, Roger Miller, Patsy Cline, June Stearns, Owen Bradley, Chuck Bowers, and so many more!
