We’re in a Country state of mind as we head down to the Mid-South region and one of the nation’s TOP Country stations, then AND now. Courtesy of Karl Phillips, we head back to the turn of the century for this tightly scoped recording of Hoss Burns. This guy’s voice sounds a little like Ray Dunaway who does mornings on WTIC AM Hartford (and your webmaster remembers odd little details like that), only deeper. Could be the processing.
The pace of this Country station is lightning fast. Country has it’s own variations of the format, some stations use an AC approach… this station sounds more CHR, in your webmaster’s humble opinion, this uptempo approach sounds better with Hot Country, but I digress.

Hi. I don’t know who you are, but THANKS for the plug. I never airchecked myself and it’s fun to hear ME when I don’t know I’M listening!!!!
I miss it a lot.
God I wish Hoss were back on the air.
Nobody ever did or will compare.
This Hombre, HOSS BURNS, was (and IS) THE BEST DJ around! WSIX lost SO much when he left the station – All of Nashville lost out BIG TIME!
His voice is amazing and leaves my knees weak! Sexy, humorous, full of live and energy!! Was GREAT to hear this broadcast! Post another one, will yah?????
Gracias Muchacho GUAPO!
Besos,

Hoss man !!! I am a former Nashvillian born and raised there who just happens to be formerly in radio. Man, what a great voice you got so I airchecked you on a visit to relatives and submitted to this aircheck site. Would like to contact you somehow if possible.

Always will be one of the greatest!
Wow this was really awesome. Hoss is my cousin and was really cool to be able to look him up and find this. I always loved when he was around because everything around seemed so full of life. this was cool to hear him and get that same old feeling. I miss ya Hoss.

Oh my goodness, I heard my fav Christmas song today. You know the one…”Tie a ribbon in your hair”…by Hoss Burns and it almost made me cry. Gerry played it for a lady who called in. I miss Hoss SO much. Does anyone know if he is still in the area? If you are reading this, Hoss…just know how much you are loved and missed!
